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?

Jesse Watters' Fox News Cohosts Call Out His 'Creepy' Rant About 'High-Value Man' Stephen Miller

Fox News personality Jesse Watters weirded out his own co-hosts after he claimed that New York Democratic Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez secretly wants to sleep with White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller after she "short-shamed" him.

In an Instagram livestream earlier this week, Ocasio-Cortez said “one of the best ways that you can dismantle a movement of insecure men is by making fun of them." She called Miller "a clown" and suggested he—the architect of President Donald Trump's immigration policies—takes out his anger on others because he's "like, 4 feet 10 inches."

Gavin Newsom Hilariously Trolls Trump For Struggling To Stay Awake During Antifa Roundtable

California Governor Gavin Newsom mocked President Donald Trump for appearing to fall asleep during a White House roundtable about Antifa, which the administration recently designated a "domestic terror organization" even though it's not an organization at all.

Antifa is a loose network of anti-fascist activists with no central structure, no funding, no membership roster, and no offices or leadership hierarchy for prosecutors to target.

Remote Worker Speaks Out After Job Uses 'Dystopian' Software To Track His Productivity

There are a few vital truths to every office-based job. First, there are going to be "busy work" moments, from meetings to admin tasks to minor side-quest-style projects that add to the company in some small way but otherwise feel like a waste of time.

Second, as human beings, we all need breaks to restore our mental focus, so a person who occasionally scrolls through their personal email, sends a few texts to a friend, or even scrolls Instagram for a few minutes, will likely be more productive than those who attempt to lock in and do nothing but their job throughout their entire shift.
