Summary

The US Secret Service has deployed Boston Dynamics’ robotic dog “Spot” to patrol Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort, bolstering security after recent assassination attempts.

Equipped with surveillance technology, 3D mapping cameras, and thermal sensors, Spot can navigate complex terrain and follow pre-programmed routes.

While unarmed, it supports human agents in detecting and deterring threats.

Despite its advanced features, the robot can be disabled with something as simple as hairspray.

The use of robotic dogs by law enforcement and military agencies is growing, though concerns about potential weaponization persist.

    Trump is dangerous because he’s unhinged and apparently untouchable, but he really only cares about staying out of jail and grifting. Not to minimize how terrible he is but the real issue as you stated is the cadre of monsters surrounding him

      indeed and doubling down here… unhinged and untouchable… isn’t because trump is special, it’s because the groups that have been locking down to prevent another nixon style resignation for the past half a century’s work has come to fruition… The guardrails have been gone for decades. Trumps just the first guy to stop pretending that they are there.
