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.

I thought he was supposed to be saving us money. I bet some of his followers would patrol for free.
Even better, I bet he could sell the opportunity for his followers to do it for him.
I’d lay some serious money that BD is paying to have it there. Beta testing, advertising.
A security camera system (even with thermal and bomb sniffing.)
The only thing that this can do that a security camera can’t is chase a person and continue perusing them off property. Incidentally, the government are the only people allowed to do that.
Obviously he thinks he’s gonna get assassinated by an American hero.
It’d be such a shame if that were to happen.
I mean I’d have to say it’s indifferent if it happened to begin with. Trump himself is IMO incompetent, his function of this was to get the votes. Vance, and the monsters in his cabinet can do just as much, if not significantly more harm without him now.
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.
Couldn’t have said it better myself
