On his first day in office, President Donald Trump has initiated a significant overhaul of the federal government by announcing plans to remove over 1,000 appointees from the previous administration led by Joe Biden. In his first post on Truth Social since his inauguration, Trump confirmed the dismissal of four senior government officials early Tuesday: Jose Andres from the President’s Council on Sports, Fitness and Nutrition, Mark Milley from the National Infrastructure Advisory Council, Brian Hook from the Wilson Center for Scholars, and Keisha Lance Bottoms from the President’s Export Council. Trump stated that his Presidential Personnel Office is actively identifying and removing these appointees who are not aligned with his vision to 'Make America Great Again.'
