It has been said that love works in mysterious ways. However, in many cases, it actually works in entirely predictable, obvious, and reasonable ways. For example, if you found yourself married to Donald Trump Jr., the appalling, worthless, endangered-species-killing son of the 45th president, whose own father seems to despise him, you’d almost certainly replace him with a Secret Service agent. And that’s exactly what his ex-wife, Vanessa Trump, did, according to a new book cited by The Guardian.
According to The Guardian, the book, Zero Fail: The Rise and Fall of the Secret Service by Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist Carol Leonnig, reveals that the ex-wife of Donald Trump’s eldest son started dating one of the agents who had been assigned to the family.
The report noted that while agents are prohibited from forming personal relationships with the people they are assigned to protect, as such feelings could affect their judgment, the individual Vanessa was seeing was apparently not subject to disciplinary action because “neither he nor the agency were official guardians of Vanessa Trump at that point.”
Vanessa and Don Jr. were married for 12 years before she traded Jr. for a secret service agent and filed for divorce.
According to Leonnig, Vanessa wasn’t the only Trump gal with an eye for the men assigned to the family.
Leonnig also writes that “Tiffany Trump, Donald Trump’s daughter with his second wife, Marla Maples, broke up with a boyfriend and began spending an unusual amount of time alone with a Secret Service agent on her detail.”
Secret Service leaders, the book says, “became concerned at how close Tiffany appeared to be getting to the tall, dark and handsome agent.”
