The traffic congestion is even worse in places like Los Angeles or San Francisco, where a presidential motorcade isn't a normal event. They will often send The Beast ahead for the last leg of a trip, and helicopter him from the airport to a transfer point near the destination.

Here's an LA Times traffic advisory.

BTW, though I'm no Trump fan, the "absurdity" would be the same with any American president. (Okay, maybe Trump needs a little more security when he travels abroad, due to his rhetoric towards countries he deems "shitholes.")
