Pulitzer Prize-winning Washington Post reporter Carol Leonnig with colleague Philip Rucker wrote a book called A Very Stable Genius: Donald J Trump's Testing of America, where they investigated the last year of the 45th President's term.
The book is a follow-up to their best-selling book A Very Stable Genius that covered the first three years of Trump in the White House.
The Guardian took a close look at the new book and highlighted a few important moments in Trump's West Wing.

What stuck out to many in the numerous quotes from former President Donald Trump were his comments about the size of various Secret Service agents.
The Guardian reported:
"[Leonnig] says the President did repeatedly seek to remove Secret Service staff he deemed to be overweight or too short for the job."
In a quote from the book, Trump said:
"I want these fat guys off my detail."
"How are they going to protect me and my family if they can't run down the street?"
From new @carolleonig book: Trump "was consumed with getting overweight Secret Service agents removed from their posts, saying he wanted 'these fat guys off my detail.'"https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/secret-service-book/2021/05/11/57d25bb8-acf5-11eb-8109-f8ba1ea2eeab_story.html?tid=ss_tw\u00a0\u2026— Karen Tumulty (@Karen Tumulty) 1620756598
Trump was not a fan of the first book and is unlikely to like the second.
The Guardian captured this tweet about the first book before Trump's account was suspended:
"All for the purpose of demeaning and belittling a President who is getting great things done for our Country, at a record clip".
Twitter had a field day with Trump's remarks about the fitness of Secret Service agents.
Damn my slow typing skills, I was about to comment on that very irony.— Michael Friedman (@Michael Friedman) 1620758910
If only the agents had gone to Ronny Jackson for a physical, he would have adjusted their height so they would no longer be overweight.— Sybill \u201cVaxxed\u201d Trelawney (@Sybill \u201cVaxxed\u201d Trelawney) 1620761321

Apparently there weren't any mirrors in the White House— ..but the truth is: (@..but the truth is:) 1620758963
Looking at the fat guys the former guy felt like he was looking in a mirror.— Gerry Levine (@Gerry Levine) 1620756669
If you're in power and the only fat guy in the room, you're Caligula and these are your servants.\n\nIf you're one of 6 fat guys in blazers in your photos, you're Tony Soprano, and these are your peers.\n\nTo him, his fat doesn't make him look bad, theirs does.\n\nAll about his image.— Yes, I'm A Fire Sign (@Yes, I'm A Fire Sign) 1620760540
Yeah. He just wants \u201chis guys\u201d to look good because that\u2019s what matters most.— Karen (@Karen) 1620771039

It feels a bit hitler-ey, no?— Rage quitting this timeline (@Rage quitting this timeline) 1620759422
No one has ever seen fat like his. Even the experts were amazed. He knows more about fat than maybe anyone...— \ud83c\udde8\ud83c\udde6 Mark McCaw \ud83c\uddee\ud83c\uddea \ud83c\uddf5\ud83c\uddf8 (@\ud83c\udde8\ud83c\udde6 Mark McCaw \ud83c\uddee\ud83c\uddea \ud83c\uddf5\ud83c\uddf8) 1620768865

Huh\u2026there was only one fat guy the rest of us wanted to get rid of and it wasn\u2019t because of his weight.pic.twitter.com/iIoXa9mWfr— you can\u2019t trust the GOP (@you can\u2019t trust the GOP) 1620767076
Regardless, Trump probably won't be taking offense to these tweets, since he is no longer allowed on the platform.
After all, how sad would it be for someone to monitor a social media platform they aren't even on?
