Donald Trumps presidential limousine will be equipped with a tear gas cannon, shotgun, and even bottles of the President-elects blood type, according to multiple reports. The Cadillac One limo, which will make its public debut on Inauguration Day, will replace a fleet of nearly a dozen vehicles that have served President Obama since 2009, Autoweek reported.
The vehicle, also known as The Beast, will come with a price tag of up to $1.5 million, the New York Post reported.

No lasers?
Bitchin’ wheels.
Why should he need a tear gas cannon? And special blood?
Since they already called Obamanation’s car(s) “The Beast(s)” shouldn’t there be a slightly different term used here?
And I want Bolton's moustache.
At the top of that list: before once again becoming the White House, the squat currently occupied at 1600 desperately needs a complete sanitary and electronic flushing.
Its an upgraded one from what Obama used.
Coincidentally, I read it is overdue for a major gut and redo.
It has a lot more than tear gas. And of course the President’s ground transportation should include a store of the President’s type blood (note: not “special” blood).
Whatever the cost, it’ll be more than worth it for the sake of national security.
What if he prefers to drink another blood type besides his own? What about his guests?
It’s not “special” blood, it will be of his blood type. Think about Hinkley shooting Reagan. The SS throws the Prez into the limo; they don’t wait for an ambulance.
Smart thinking to have his blood type on hand. And I like the security measures.
Interesting that he chose to get rid of Obama’s “fleet”.
Changed from a Cadillac body to an Escalade body
May I suggest a Ma Deuce? There are too many liberals, Marxists, progressive Democrats out there for just shotguns and teargas.

ANd frickin’ sharks with lasers on top of their heads.
Oh, and to directly answer your question, this is SOP for Presidential transportation. Also, because the unhinged left and GOPe aren’t beyond trying to have Trump killed. In fact some unconfirmed attempts have already occurred. Seriously, you did not know that?!
From a mechanical perspective I’m kinda curious on how they built it. From what i understand the previous limo Obama had built for him was based off a TopKick(think 4500, 5500) medium-duty truck chassis. GM closed the medium duty trick business during the bail out. Only Ford and Dodge currently make such heavy duty chassis.
