Donald Trump’s bodyguard wore a pair of plastic arms while holding a machine gun under his coat during the Presidential inauguration, it has been claimed. After President Trump took the official oath he and his family walked 2.5 miles down Pennsylvania Avenue to the White House flanked by heavy security.
But it was the secret service agent walking beside Trump and First Lady Melania that caught the eye of social media users.
The stern-looking man’s arms seemed stiff and appeared not to move for the entirety of the walk.
This has led to speculation that he was concealing a weapon under his jacket and was most likely holding it with his trigger finger ready.
And because both his ‘real’ hands were hidden, some online users are convinced the security officer was holding an automatic weapon.
While there is no previous evidence of agents using prosthetic limbs, agents are known to wear bullet-proof underpants made out of Kevlar.
