Do US Presidents use body doubles?

To the best of my knowledge there has never been any body doubles used for the President of the United States other than the movie "Dave."

The Secret Service frequently uses decoys of vehicles and aircraft while transporting the President. When the President is traveling on Marine One there is often one or more decoys of the helicopter which, of course, look exactly the same as one another, and once they are in the air, they leapfrog each other like an aerial shell game to confuse any potential assailants on the ground. But there's never been any credible rumors of Presidents using body doubles like Uday Hussein once did.

What did I notice from the DNC this week? @identifying-helícopters-in-posts ...the "new" VH-92 Patriot that Biden was flying in. Aka Marine One now I guess ... We'll see if they keep the old ones that were famous for being the background of Trurnp's interviews on the White House lawn where you can't hear the reporter's questions and even Trurnp is drowned out -- apparently the helicopters are also for flying in, who knew.

A new Marine One awaits President Joe Biden at Chicago O’Hare International Airport in Chicago, Monday, August 19, 2024. Biden on Monday took his first flight aboard the modern VH-92A helicopter that serves as Marine One after years of delays to the program to replace the aging aircraft that carry the president and vice president. Biden boarded the Sikorsky-made helicopter after arriving on Air Force One in Chicago where he is speaking Monday evening at the Democratic National Convention. (AP Photo/Stephanie Scarbrough)

as far as one piece antagonists go Crocodile truly gets absolutely scooby-doo’d at unmatched levels

He immediately falls for a phone scam and from basically little garden to rainbase he doesn’t even know the strawhats are alive (and clowning towards him at incredible speed). As soon as he does, they’re in his house tearing at his walls and bringing marines into his villain lair.

He uses a literal floor trap door over a gator pit to catch them, gets phone scammed again, full scooby-doo chase scenes after Chopper through the streets while still missing him, and suddenly his prisoners have escaped his impossible cage, and his giant bananagators are dead. and Nico Robin saw it all happen.

He then spends rest of the arc complaining about those meddling kids and their dog “strawhat pirates and their weird pet” and at no point does he even know how many strawhats there are.

Like yeah he keeps having plans on top of plans to stop everything Vivi can do but also she keeps coming up with a new thing to do (Tom and Jerry ass dynamic).

Part of it is that he’s underestimating them and keeps grandstanding villain monologuing but also teens keep killing hundreds of his grand line bounty hunters and he straight up does not know what is happening.

Cause he IS trying to kill them he’s sending top assassins after them and ripping out luffy’s organs, the whole time he’s yelling HOW ARE YOU ALIVE?? DIE. as whack-a-mole Luffy keeps inventing new ways to hit him.
