Up to now, FBI administrators have been pushed round in Chevy Suburbans by their safety element, however is that an acceptable car for a person so flashy he has his personal cheesy clothes line that includes Trump-themed Christmas hoodies and cheesy customized problem cash?

An FBI spokesperson informed MS NOW that the FBI was completely completely already planning on shopping for upgraded automobiles, and the armored BMW was the cheaper possibility, however in fact, the spokesperson declined to point out his work.
