Jan 21, 2025, 05:44 AM
On his first day in office, President Donald Trump announced after midnight the dismissal of over 1,000 presidential appointees from the previous administration, aiming to align the government with his 'Make America Great Again' agenda. The Presidential Personnel Office is actively identifying and removing these appointees. Notable figures removed include former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley, who was fired from the National Infrastructure Advisory Council; celebrity chef José Andrés, dismissed from the President’s Council on Sports, Fitness and Nutrition; Brian Hook, removed from the Wilson Center for Scholars; and Keisha Lance Bottoms, ousted from the President’s Export Council. Trump's late-night actions underscore his commitment to reshaping the federal government immediately upon taking office. He emphasized this by declaring, "Our first day in the White House is not over yet!"
