A bombshell upcoming new book from author and documentarian Chris Whipple is shedding interesting new light on President Biden’s first years inside the White House and, more specifically, Biden’s less-than-thrilled reaction to some of the things he found left behind inside the Executive Mansion by his predecessor Donald Trump.
The New York Post is out with new reporting on Whipple’s soon-to-be-released book, The Fight of His Life: Inside Joe Biden’s White House, and tells of President Biden’s process when he first moved into the People’s House, as he couldn’t stand to have anything around him that reminded him of the scandal-ridden, corrupt president who came before him. Apparently, this includes items such as a golf simulator and a big-screen TV and even came down to the Resolute Desk that was used by Donald Trump.
Whipple writes that President Biden showed a friend his predecessor’s golf simulator that was left behind, remarking, “What a fucking asshole.”
The author goes on to write that Biden really wanted to bring in the Resolute Desk once used by President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, in lieu of the one used by Donald Trump during his 4-year reign of terror and destruction. However, that request couldn’t ultimately be fulfilled, and that particular desk remains at the Roosevelts’ Hyde Park, New York, residence.

Whipple’s book, set to release on the 17th of this month, also paints a terrifying picture of President Biden’s fear of his own Secret Service details, as he knew that many of them remained staunchly and devoutly loyal to the ex-president and the MAGA agenda. According to Whipple, the US Secret Service “is full of white ex-cops from the South who tend to be deeply conservative.”
“Wary of his own Secret Service agents, the president no longer spoke freely in their presence,” the author writes.
Apparently, Biden’s distrust of the Secret Service went so deep that he didn’t even believe the claim that his family-turned-White House dog, Major, actually bit an agent.
“Look, the Secret Service are never up here. It didn’t happen,” Biden allegedly said to a friend. Ultimately, Major was rehomed following an alleged string of biting incidents during Biden’s early days in the White House.
