Former President Donald Trump only wanted buff Secret Service agents, a new book claims
Washington Post reporter Carol Leonnig's new book 'Zero Fail: The Rise and Fall of the Secret Service,' says Trump didn't like agents who were fat or short
'I want these fat guys off my detail,' Trump once said. 'How are they going to protect me and my family if they can't run down the street?'
The Secret Service demands agents to be physically fit, including running a mile and a half in under 11 minutes and 44 seconds
Trump was known for putting people around him that looked like they had been sent there by 'central casting'
Trump's former personal assistant resigned after telling reporters he wouldn't pose for pictures with Tiffany Trump because he thought she was overweight

I gotta say, its hilarious how much the corporate media still obsess over the guy months and months after he’s been out of office. They just can’t get enough Trump in their coverage. Still.
yes
I’d rather have the husky wide ones between me and a gunman...they have more surface area to block a bullet or shrapnel. A tall fat president should be surrounded by tall fat bodyguards. The small skinny guys can be snipers, tackle weirdo violent protesters, or run alongside the car. There’s a role for all body types, I suppose.
I think it is a self preservation thing with the media. Put anything out on Trump all sides will read it. Put anything out with Biden on it and barely anyone will read it.
"Kagan face"
First of I’m not so sure I believe the story and even if it’s true his job is not to be physically fit, run and jump, shoot and fight. They’re job is to protect the President against all threats and in many cases that requires physical agility. When you look at pictures of President Trump in his 30’s and 40’s he was definitely in pretty good shape. Having never smoked or drank probably in better shape than those who protect him now. My physical condition now if far different than it was when I was the age of your average SS agent. When I was in the ARMY with 101st Airborne Division I would have given even the young SS agents a run for their money. Trump is 3 years older than I am.
I call bull…t on this article. just sayin’
The Secret Service could make a similar argument about the presidency. It is a high stress job that can take a toll on a person’s health, so physically fit people are preferred.

Well we’ll ask them when they hit 74.

TDS much? More like anti-Trump, I hate Trump and will lie about Trump to get my book to sell.
These people are still not over Trump. They seethe with anger over the fact that he is still alive and not in jail.
Just a pack of made-up lies.
So?
He’s right.
Someone fat is not likely to be in decent shape nor run well.
