| - In March 2026, a rumor (archived) circulated online that a U.S. Secret Service agent said that working for U.S. President Donald Trump had "ruined" him because of the president's kindness.
According to a post on the Facebook page "Garvit pandey," the agent said:
Trump RUINED me for this job. Not because he's difficult - but because he's the OPPOSITE. Trump knows my NAME. Every other President called me 'agent.' Trump calls me by my actual name. Trump knows my WIFE'S name. My CHILDREN'S names. Asks about my son's baseball games by name. Trump NOTICES when I'm tired after standing 8 hours and says 'Sit down, you need rest.' Trump orders EXTRA food during long days: 'Make sure my guys eat first.' Trump attended my FATHER'S FUNERAL when he passed. No cameras. No press. Just came to honor the man who raised the agent protecting him. After experiencing THIS - how can I go back to being called 'agent' by future Presidents?
The alleged praise from the Secret Service agent gained thousands of likes on Facebook (archived, archived), and circulated on X (archived), Instagram (archived) and LinkedIn (archived). Snopes readers contacted us to ask whether the rumor was true.
We first used search engines such as Bing, DuckDuckGo, Google and Yahoo (archived, archived, archived, archived) to locate possible evidence from credible sources of the alleged Secret Service agent's praise, but found no such reports.
The rumor originated from the "Garvit pandey" Facebook page, which appeared to mass-produce baseless stories about Trump using unrelated images. Snopes has previously found one such story from that page to be false.
Given the lack of credible reporting, evidence of AI-generated text in the Facebook post and the unreliable nature of the claim's source, we've rated it false.
Users who create content like the story about the alleged Secret Service agent capitalize on social media users' willingness to believe and share the made-up claims, profiting from advertising revenue on external websites to which the posts link. (Snopes has previously reported on the business strategy.)
A U.S. Secret Service spokesperson told Snopes via phone that they could not comment on the interview's authenticity without an agent's name, which the "Garvit pandey" post did not include.
We contacted a manager of the "Garvit pandey" Facebook page ask for more details about the story or an explanation of why it shared the alleged quote without a disclaimer that it was false and await a reply.
Text and images provided clues to story's falsehood
The post on the "Garvit pandey" Facebook page displayed several signs of AI-generated text. For example, the text used all caps on some words for emphasis, a tool not generally used in traditional reporting. GPTZero, an online tool that aims to detect AI-generated text, also determined with 100% certainty that the text in the "Garvit pandey" Facebook post was AI-generated.
Let us note here: These types of AI detection tools are fallible. Snopes cautions people against using them for definitive answers on media's authenticity without supporting evidence.
Aside from likely AI-generated text, the post on the "Garvit pandey" page used several images that appeared randomly selected to show Trump with Secret Service agents. Two of these showed agents surrounding Trump in Vandalia, Ohio, in 2016. Another was a portrait of James M. Murray, a Trump-appointed former head of the Secret Service who stepped down in 2022. There was no indication that Murray gave the anonymous interview praising Trump.
'Garvit pandey' page spreads fake stories about Trump
Snopes previously investigated the "Garvit pandey" page. Our review found several users accusing the page of posting AI-generated stories. We also found that posts on the page contained common markers of AI-generated stories like excessive use of emojis, repetition of one core message and calls to action. The story about the Secret Service agent included all of these markers.
At the time of this writing, the "Garvit pandey" page had posted 11 stories about Trump or people close to him on March 13, 2026, alone that all shared these traits.
As Snopes senior reporter Jordan Liles wrote when investigating another story from the page: "The idea that, in this age of AI, a user would sit down and manually write dozens of fictional stories per day to publish on a Facebook page, with each one containing AI-like writing, does not exactly square with reality."
The above factors led us to conclude that stories on the page were either falsified or misattributed.
The fictional story about the Secret Service agent heaping praise on Trump resembled glurge, which Dictionary.com defines as "stories, often sent by email, that are supposed to be true and uplifting, but which are often fabricated and sentimental."
Snopes has previously investigated other rumors involving the Secret Service, including whether a "Reptilian" agent guarded former U.S. President Barack Obama and whether the service went "broke" paying for agents to guard the Trump family.
