"I want these fat guys off my detail."

[brooklynite]

Another nugget from Zero Fail: The Rise and Fall of the Secret Service by Carol Leonnig, via The Guardian: “The president did repeatedly seek to remove Secret Service staff he deemed to be overweight or too short for the job.”

Said Trump: “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?”

1. Not content with killing irony, Trump sets about desecrating the corpse.

[Hekate]

2. He hired people--including judges--based on whether they looked like they came from...

...Central Casting.

[Leith]

3. How does the ability to run down the street

make them better body guards?

If fat or short guys are inferior, doesn't that take away some of the so-called superiority of the orange monster? There hasn't been a picture or video taken since the 1970s that doesn't show chumpy with extra poundage and when he stands next to others whose heights are known, he is noticeably shorter than he claims.

Just what does that foul creature base his claims of good genetics on?

4. Morbidly obese gasbag says what about the guys who are there to protect his miserable, useless life?

6. Have You Ever See a Fat or Out of Shape Secret Service Agent? I Haven't. Trump is Full of Sh*t.

He wanted to replace certain agents because of other reasons that had nothing to do with physical ability.

17. My BIL was secret service agent in the 70's and 80's.

He was with Roselyn Carter for a while, and Chip Ford. Those are the only two I remember. But I did see him on T.V. or in the news at times, once running along the side of a convertible with Flotus Carter in it in a parade of some sort, in some city. The picture appeared in TIME and was really exciting for our family!

He had a small gym in their home when he couldn't work out at a full gym, and he ran miles every day. A level of physical fitness was required, so once again, T**** is full of shit.

7. What color were these "fat" agents?

[Hassin Bin Sober]

8. Honestly, I'm surprised he included "my family"

[sarcasmo]

9. Fat guy angry with Fat guy.

[rickyhall]

10. I'm thinking pots & kettles here.

[Thomas Hurt]

11. To be blunt...you would think fat agents would have more surface area to block

bullets from hitting the corpulent mass that former guy has.

[efhmc]

14. Sadly. that gave me a chuckle.

[Blue Owl]

12. It would really suck to have to take a bullet for that odious fat fuck piece of shit

[RockRaven]

13. Says the turd who drives his golf cart onto the green to avoid unnecessary walking...

The guy literally can't or won't walk down the street, never mind run even as far as he is tall...

He should have been more worried the SS agents weren't strong enough to pick him up and carry him.

[Disaffected]

15. Hey Dump,

fat guys are better equipped to absorb bullets. You are better off with them.

[pwb]

16. I hope all their details now are minority.

Eat this puke.

[smirkymonkey]

18. Says the fat, flabby fuck who couldn't run 10 yards to save his life.

What a pig! He is such a disgrace.

19. trump jr.'s wife likes her Secret Service guys lean, as well. (nt)
