‘Bloated, Fat and Disgusting’: Trump Insults All Americans
The McDonald’s addict, whose weight has been the subject of much debate, lectured the nation.
President Donald Trump ended his first Cabinet meeting on Wednesday by fat-shaming America.
“This country has gotten bloated, fat, disgusting,” the 78-year-old McDonald’s lover said, before blaming many of America’s problems on former President Joe Biden.
Trump, whose slogan is the Ronald Reagan inspired “Make America Great Again,” attributed his presidential woes to the poor health of Americans—accusing Biden as the country’s enabler.

“I think we had the worst president in the history of our country. He just left office,” the sitting president complained.
Trump’s own weight has been subject to much debate in the past. When booked into an Atlanta jail on charges relating to his alleged attempts to overturn the 2020 election in 2023, 6-foot-3 Trump listed his weight at 215 pounds—30 pounds lighter than his last disclosed weight from the time of his last official White House physical.
The average American man, who Trump accused of being disgustingly fat, weighs 199.8 pounds according to the CDC. American women average about 170.8 pounds.

The president — who is known to enjoy frequent fast-food burgers and recently installed a Diet Coke button in the Oval office — started his temper tantrum because of a question from an unidentified reporter.
She asked the president if there would be a follow up on a performance review email sent to federal workers earlier this week, which sparked the president’s outrage.
“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?” the reporter asked.

The Office of Personnel sent an email to millions of federal workers on Saturday mandating that they respond with five things they accomplished last week—adding that workers should “not send any classified information, links, or attachments. Deadline is this Monday at 11:59 pm EST.”
DOGE boss Elon Musk piled on, saying that same day: “Failure to respond will be taken as a resignation.”
On Tuesday, the White House proudly announced that 1 million employees responded. But since this did not cover all federal workers, Trump confirmed Wednesday that a second email will be sent to the federal workers who did not respond.
“They’re on the bubble,” Trump said. “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.”

Trump explained that the reason his administration is forced to trim the federal workforce in addition to the federal funding is because of the mess the Biden administration allegedly left Trump to clean up.
“I think he’s a disgrace what he’s done to our country,” the overweight president fumed, adding that the former president participated in “stupid spending to spend hundreds of millions, trillions and trillions of dollars.”
