President Trump has now faced three legitimate threats on his life from three armed madmen, one of whom came within centimeters of fatally striking his head.
If he’s wearing one, it protects against pistols at most. If you want to stop a rifle round, you need plates. This guy is not going to be carrying around that much weight in plates all the time. He can’t even walk on his own as is.
Teddy Roosevelt famously only needed his speech booklet (he continued to give his speech after being shot by a would-be assassin).
Reagan also was shot by a .22LR rifle (which he initially didn’t notice) without a vest on.
Usually the Secret Service is enough though. You usually aren’t getting close enough to the president outside of ceremonial/public event circumstances unless you have “Yankee White” clearance anyway (You’d be detained before getting within a few blocks of them).
Well there are fibre-optic drones in mass-production now… Place a remote controlled “mothership” van outside the electronic warfare perimeter, start a dozen drones from there, and tada, countermeasures countermeasured.
I just assumed all presidents wear them.

They do, since Reagan.

I’m shocked no one has tried the explosive drone technique. Even active war zones have trouble containing those, let alone a couple block perimeter.
They have countermeasures in place for drones in “no fly” air space. And that air space is a moving box around him.

They probably wear kevlar or some shit, that will do fuck all
