Donald Trump’s protection is getting beefed up now that he is the President-elect.
The lengths the Secret Service is going to keep him safe are astounding.
And Mar-a-Lago got one scary security upgrade that left Donald Trump stunned.
Futurist robotic dog seen guarding Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate
President-elect Donald Trump survived two assassination attempts in two months this year including one in West Palm Beach, Florida at his golf club.
He has had to battle with the Biden-Harris administration to get adequate protection from the Secret Service after the attempts on his life.
Now that he has won the election the Secret Service is beefing up his security around his Mar-a-Lago home.
A futuristic four-legged robot that resembles a dog was captured on video patrolling the grounds of the President-elect’s estate.

The robot dog appeared to have sensors and cameras on its back as it walked around the property.
It had the United States Secret Service (USSS) written on its body with the warning “DO NOT PET” in large letters on it.
The robot dog is made by Boston Dynamics.
A Secret Service spokesman confirmed that the high-tech sentry was with the agency.
“Safeguarding the President-elect is a top priority,” a Secret Service spokesman told the New York Post. “While we cannot get into the specific capabilities, the robotic dogs are equipped with surveillance technology, and an array of advanced sensors that support our protective operations.”
One of these high-tech robots was seen on patrol this summer during the NATO summit in Washington, D.C.
The dogs are part of the Secret Service’s ASTRO program or Autonomous Systems and Technical Robotic Operation.
A video released by the Secret Service at the time said the dogs can be used to detect bombs and chemical weapons.
They have sensors and cameras that feed real-time intelligence to the agency.
Robot dogs finding use with first responders and the military globally
The robot dogs are seeing increased use by the military and law enforcement to tackle tasks deemed too dangerous for humans.
New York Fire Department officials deployed their robot dog to search for survivors last year after a Lower Manhattan parking garage collapsed.
Militaries around the world are putting them to use too.
Ukraine bought more than 30 low-cost robot dogs for use in the country’s war against Russia.
The $9,000 dogs will function as drones providing reconnaissance and bringing supplies to troops.
Ukrainian soldiers are also developing them as potential kamikaze weapons against Russian forces.
“We will start using them en masse after the complete modernization of the robo dogs to our needs,” a Ukrainian officer said. “The process is already underway.”
The robot dogs were originally designed to provide reconnaissance in wooded areas that were off-limits for an aerial drone.
Robot dogs are also being used by the United States military to help with targeting for aerial drones and planes on the battlefield.
Videos from China have emerged that have shown the communist nation using robot dogs with guns attached to them.
