IF it helps, the full cost of the plane is a one-time thing, minus the upgrades, which happen constantly. As he said, the plane, with defensive stuff, costs around $700M, but that is obviously NOT the cost of each trip. The biggest costs are fuel, crews, security personnel and actions, and overtime. Even far more so if they have to go to a foreign country, which has to be mapped and checked out prior to arrival. It's either this, or the U.S. Pres gets shot, which can/will cause a war.

The white haired gentleman falling up the stairs is the current president and who sometimes has that problem. There have been several assassination attempts, even Ronald Reagan was shot at as he went to his car and another man, James Brady, an aide was shot ( and had brain damage). The shooter was a man who thought that if he did this he would get the attention of a movie star he admired. And this has gotten more serious since the 9/11 attacks. There is another video by these guys that is more instructive about the hazards and reasons for each vehicle. Wouldn't suggest conspiracy theories unless you would be prepared for a lot of comments.

Presidential assassinations happen almost always during transportation and travel as that is when they are most exposed to the public. JFK, Ronald Reagan, McKinley are examples just from the 20th century off the top of my head, and note that Reagan survived mainly due to the updated and improved secret service presence. If the president is assassinated it is incredibly dangerous to national security as the head of state is no longer present meaning executive functions requiring authorization from the president (which is essentially all military and defense functions and decisions that were not already laid out in advance as official procedure/protocol. This means the military and nuclear responses to an attack wouldn’t be possible until the vice president is sworn in and briefed. Even when the death of a president was not a surprise or assassination like with FDR, the emergency swearing in of the vp to the presidency is a very anxious and chaotic time. And on top of that, if a president is harmed in anyway this would have immediate ripple effects on American society in both the short and long terms that can take decades to recover from fully. Entire political structures have to reorganize, citizens feel threatened where they are unsure of the stability of the government. Stock markets can panic, other politicians immediately worry if they are also in danger. This makes the cost of this kind of event happening and succeeding way more than the cost of properly ensuring that attempts would fail (as they also deter future attempts as it would seem impossible to succeed). The cost of these vehicles are not focused on luxury or extravagance but on stupidly redundant and expensive communications systems and emergency countermeasures. For example the president must be able to conduct their duties as president at all times. So any gap in connection with the president at any point while traveling to the pentagon (especially) is critical.

Lots of false/misleading information in the original video. NSA has nothing to do with the president's movements. It's mostly DHS (including US Secret Service) and DOD (Air Force and Marine Corps). There are not 50 vehicles in the presidential motorcade. There are often 50 or more vehicle moving with the president, but most are not part of the official (integral) motorcade. The actual motorcade consists of about 10 Secret Service vehicles (including the two limos) and a few local police vehicles and an ambulance. The additional vehicles trail the motorcade and are rented/hired vans and SUVs that carry lower-level support staff and the media. These additional vehicles are not technically part of the motorcade, and the only vehicles that are transported to the venue the president visits are the actual black ones that are highly specialized and owned by the Secret Service. All the other vehicles are either local police or rented vans and SUVs that are locally sourced.

When the late King Hussein of Jordan & his wife Queen Noor were staying here where i live in Minnesota while he was being treated for terminal cancer, he loved driving around the city with his wife in a Silver Volkswagen Beetle. They did have security in front & behind them in a motorcade & a police escort at the front & very back but no roads were ever blocked off when they'd take a ride. I accidentally merged onto the highway right in between the blacked out Escalade security vehicle & the King & Queen in their Beetle who were traveling in the right lane😳😬 Oopsie! As soon as I realized it, I quickly moved over to the left lane, sheepishly waved & slowed to get behind the full motorcade. Pretty sure King Hussein & Queen Noor thought it was funny because they waved back, smiled & were laughing.😂 We got used to seeing them out and about driving & shopping but seriously never thought I'd end up IN the motorcade by accident! Over the years the Mayo Clinic brings all sorts of heads of state & royalty here from the Middle East for medical treatment. Most have similar motorcades. Aside from the Hussein's of Jordon, I also was in the hallway at St. Mary's Hospital when the President of Iraq walked by - he had much stricter security & we were all made to face the walls as he walked by surrounded by his security & our law enforcement.

The main difference is less taxes in the US, huge population, and huge military. Also iirc each state also has their own taxes they use for infrastructure, law enforcement, first responders, etc. I can only imagine how much more the US would rake in if it raised federal taxes by just 1%, probably not an insignificant number at all.
