I was watching a USA TV series The Shooter where there was an assassination attempt on the USA President. It seems to me that in a fucked up country like The Alternative States of America, that this is always on the cards. The Secret Service seems to be spending outrageous amounts of money, time and resources running about protecting the successive presidents.
The actual times that the president is in public is contrived and could much more easily be staged somewhere safer.
The whole concept of a president leading the American people has been undermined for generations now and with the latest bozo in the position the platform is definitely shaky.
Real power is in the ruling party and wielding of it isn't in showy flourishes of a pen signing documents but in months of deal making behind the scenes which leads to legislative changes. Whichever party has the most votes at the end of the day is more important than who is up front in the limelight.
I've thought for a while that what the USA needs is some sort of holographic president or a robot.
I know, I know the USA has got a kind of robot at the moment but he's a flawed one kind of like HAL in 2001 A Space Odyssey or those replicants in Blade Runner who ran amok.
No, to save tax payers money and to get past all the ridiculousness of motorcades, the USA needs to have an indestructible frontman. They could paint it different colours depending on which political party is in power or even have their own one.
I don't see this happening straight away but I predict that within 50 years this is what we will have.
Donald Trump will have certainly accelerated the process.

"Maybe Trump is a robot but they still have a few bugs!"
Yes, like the one up his arse.
