He maybe the president of the most powerful nation in the world, but his car still needs filling up with petrol.

He should have a bodyguard, and maybe an armored limo, but the entire highway should be shut down when he’s being driven on it, the entire sky should not be cleared for his helicopter or AF1. The White House should not be walled off and barricaded.
He’s not our god-king. Let him take his chances.

On the other hand, this is probably a publicity stunt.
I would have thought the President would have brought his own gas where ever he went.
That's exactly his intention.
