(RightIsRight.co) – At his first blockbuster Cabinet meeting of the second term, President Trump bluntly described the United States as “bloated, fat, and disgusting,” raising eyebrows and making headlines across the nation.
See the tweet below.
His harsh words echoed many conservatives’ dissatisfaction with the expanding government and wasteful spending.
Although shocking, Trump’s choice of words draws attention to what he sees as a government that is too large and inefficient.
Focused on cutting waste, Trump blasted Washington’s inefficiency and blamed his predecessor, Joe Biden, as “the worst president in the history of our country.”
He supports Elon Musk’s initiative to rein in the federal machine and aligns with those demanding tighter fiscal responsibility.
Musk, an influential entrepreneur, sent emails asking federal employees to account for their time, implying the potential for staff reduction.
While this approach has been controversial, Trump defended it, expressing a willingness to face backlash for making tough choices.
“The country has gotten bloated and fat and disgusting and incompetently run,” Trump remarked, showing no qualms about reducing workforce sizes to boost efficiency.
Yet these moves are not without risks—mistakes, such as USAID’s temporary halt to ebola prevention, serve as proof.
In his broader strategy, the President seeks a $4 trillion deficit reduction, a bold goal involving cutting waste wherever possible.
The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has asked federal workers to justify their positions, signaling intent to trim down bloated systems.
The implications are profound. Federal agencies are required to prepare workforce reduction plans by March and execute them by September.
President Trump compares the United States to Rosie O'Donnell.

While the process has stirred confusion and fear among government employees, Trump and Musk seem undeterred.
The tech mogul still defends these emails, viewing them as necessary checks on an out-of-control system.
Meanwhile, Trump’s administration has issued memos pushing for these reductions, contemplating significant changes in federal functions to reflect a more effective governance model.
Ultimately, Trump’s confrontational approach represents a long-overdue recognition of reality for American taxpayers who have watched the federal government grow ever larger while delivering fewer results.
By calling out the bloated bureaucracy for what it is, Trump has once again demonstrated why patriots elected him to restore accountability and fiscal sanity to Washington.
