Trump Regularly Tried To Have Secret Service Agents Removed For Being Too 'Fat', New Book Claims

Trump Regularly Tried To Have Secret Service Agents Removed For Being Too 'Fat', New Book Claims

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?"

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.













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?

Tim Walz Has Epic Clapback After Nancy Mace Asks Him To Define 'Woman' During Congressional Hearing

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz had a splendid response after South Carolina Republican Representative Nancy Mace attempted to claim that his support for transgender women would bar him from recognizing fraud in his state.

Walz's appearance at the hearing comes amid conservative claims—offered with little supporting evidence—that Somali-run childcare centers in Minnesota improperly received public funds intended to support childcare for low-income families. Subsequently, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the FBI expanded their presence in Minnesota as federal authorities froze childcare funding statewide.

Elmo Just Asked His Followers 'Where Have You Been?'—And Zohran Mamdani Had The Purest Response

Elmo, the furry red childlike monster from Sesame Street designed by Caroly Wilcox, began his life as a generic "baby monster" background filler in the 1979-1980 season of the long-running children's television program.

Originally having a gruff voice supplied by various puppeteers, Elmo found his falsetto-voiced, loving persona when Kevin Clash took over in 1985. Elmo was transformed into a three-and-a-half-year-old character designed to connect with the show's audience of preschoolers.
