Trump asked the Secret Service to get 'these fat guys off my detail'

Trump asked the Secret Service to get 'these fat guys off my detail' because 'they can't run down the street,' according to new book

President Donald Trump is not shy about sharing his opinions on people's physique, and Secret Service agents are no exception, according to a new book.

A forthcoming book by The Washington Post's Carol D. Leonnig — a coauthor of the bestselling "A Very Stable Genius: Donald J. Trump's Testing of America" — says Trump once got irritated about members of the agency not being in "tippy top shape," as he would put it.

Leonnig's new book, "Zero Fail: The Rise and Fall of the Secret Service," digs into how the Trump family interacted with the agency. While the book says some agents were concerned about romances developing between their men and two Trump family members, the president was more focused on the appearance and fitness of his detail.

"I want these fat guys off my detail," Trump once said, according to an excerpt of Leonnig's book obtained by The Guardian. "How are they going to protect me and my family if they can't run down the street?"

He has no business telling others about being too fat.

Vanessa, Donald Trump Jr.'s ex-wife, "started dating one of the agents who had been assigned to her family," Leonnig wrote in "Zero Fail: The Rise and Fall of the Secret Service." The agent didn't get in trouble because at the time he wasn't assigned to protect Vanessa, who filed for divorce from Donald in 2018.

The book also said that Tiffany spent "an unusual amount of time alone with a Secret Service agent on her detail" after she broke up with a boyfriend.

Leonnig wrote that Secret Service agents "became concerned at how close Tiffany appeared to be getting to the tall, dark and handsome agent."

At one point, Dr. Mehmet Oz asked Trump, "When you look in the mirror, what do you see?"

Trump responded: "I see a person who is 35 years old."

Put down the Big Mac and get your head out of the KFC bucket Donny before you criticize some one else's looks.

And Trump couldn't run 10 feet without stopping to catch his breath, so why would his agents need to run any faster (unless they were running AWAY from him ...)

Just saying ...
