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?"

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

Just saying ...
