A U.S. Secret Service agent who has served seven presidents said Donald Trump is weirder than all of them put together and provided behind-the-scenes details about what he’s like in his presidential limousine.
In August 2026, people shared a rumor alleging a U.S. Secret Service agent who has served seven presidents said President Donald Trump is weirder than all of them put together and provided private, behind-the-scenes details about what he’s like in the presidential limousine.
For example, on Aug. 12, a Facebook user posted (archived) the lengthy rumor, which told of a purported “stash of Secret Service memos” revealing secrets about Trump. The post featured an image with a headline reading, “A Secret Service Agent Explains What Trump Is Like Behind The Scenes.” The image displayed the publication name The Halfway Cafe and the date Nov. 17, 2025, as well as a photo of Trump walking the White House grounds.

Among the many claims about Trump’s car rides, the post said Trump enjoys listening to Abba’s “Dancing Queen,” watches pornography without muting the volume, farts and then accuses the driver of flatulence, throws Big Macs at the windshield when he hears bad news and talks with an exaggerated Asian accent after meeting with an Asian diplomat or leader.
Other users reposted the rumor on Facebook (archived), Instagram (archived) and Threads (archived). Snopes readers contacted us to investigate its legitimacy.
In short, this was not true.
The rumor a Secret Service agent called Trump weirder than numerous other presidents combined and provided private information about his motorcade ride activities originated from The Halfway Cafe and The Halfway Post, related publications whose content is labeled as satirical in nature. If a Secret Service agent truly had spoken out, news media outlets would have covered it, and their coverage would have appeared in searches of Bing, DuckDuckGo, Google and Yahoo. That was not the case.
A writer named Dash MacIntyre owns the two Halfway blogs. He, or another person managing the publication’s accounts, reported the made-up story in an article on The Halfway Cafe’s Medium.com blog and The Halfway Post’s Substack blog in November 2025, as well as in an X post (archived).
The Halfway Cafe’s bio reads, “Dadaist graffiti news. Halfway true comedy and satire for your doomscrolling by Dash MacIntyre. I don’t report the facts, I improve them.”
Snopes emailed MacIntyre to ask about his inspiration for the made-up story, in the case he wished to share more information about his writing. We will update this article if we receive further information.
In previous reporting, MacIntyre pointed us to an article he wrote about his “Dada News” content. That story labeled his writing as “absurd for absurdity’s sake,” as well as the following:
Dada News is most politically effective when it compels conservative critics to waste their free time crafting long, laborious responses attacking the integrity, intelligence, and sense of humor of Dada journalists that those Dada journalists do not read and ignore completely.
For further reading, we previously investigated another MacIntyre satire story about Grindr threatening to share identities of Republican politicians who “secretly” used the gay dating app to protest Florida legislation.
