President Donald Trump did not hold back when describing the state of the United States in the first Cabinet meeting of his second term.

“The country has gotten bloated, fat and disgusting,” Trump said Wednesday, placing the blame on his predecessor, former President Joe Biden, per Mediaite.

Trump was answering a question the massive cuts in staffing with federal employees.

An email was sent out last week to employees to list what they had done that week.

“You mentioned you’re interested in doing another round of this email. When would you like to see that? What would be the deadline? And this time would it be mandatory?” a reporter asked.

“I think Elon (Musk) wants to and I think it’s a good idea because, you know, those people, as I said before, they’re on the bubble,” Trump said. ”You got a lot of people that have not responded. So we’re trying to figure out  — Do they exist? Who are they? And it’s possible that a lot of those people will be actually fired. And if that happened, that’s okay, because that’s what we’re trying to do.”

President Trump promises to fix the disastrous situation left behind by President Biden.

“This country has gotten bloated, fat, disgusting, and incompetently run,” Trump said. “I think we had the worst president in the history of our country. He just left office. I think he’s a disgrace what he’s done to our country by allowing millions of people to come into our country like that and all of the other things he inflation, which he caused because of energy and stupid spending to spend hundreds of millions, trillions and trillions of dollars on the green new scam, a total scam.”
