President Trump is not wasting any time in his mission to drain the swamp and save America once more. Early Tuesday morning, he took to Truth Social to announce the first four people he had fired upon taking office. For those who have been following his journey, these names might not come as a major surprise.
In his post, Trump wrote, “Our first day in the White House is not over yet! My Presidential Personnel Office is actively in the process of identifying and removing over a thousand Presidential Appointees from the previous Administration, who are not aligned with our vision to Make America Great Again.”
The first four individuals to be dismissed include retired Gen. Mark Milley, who served as the chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff under both Trump and Biden. Milley has been a controversial figure, often clashing with Trump over various issues. His removal was expected, given their tumultuous history.
Next on the list was Brian Hook, who served as an envoy to Iran during Trump’s first term. Hook was known for his hardline stance on Iran and played a significant role in the administration’s sanctions policy. His departure marks a shift in the administration’s approach to foreign policy.
Celebrity chef and humanitarian José Andrés was also among those fired. Andrés, who served on the President’s Council on Sports, Fitness, and Nutrition, has been a vocal critic of Trump in the past. His removal was seen as a move to align the council more closely with the administration’s vision.
Finally, former Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms was dismissed from the President’s Export Council. Bottoms, a senior adviser on Biden’s reelection campaign, had already submitted her resignation earlier this month. Her departure was part of a broader effort to remove individuals who were not in line with Trump’s agenda.
These firings are just the beginning. Trump has made it clear that over a thousand more Presidential Appointees from the previous administration will be removed in the coming days. This move is part of his broader strategy to reshape the federal government and ensure that it aligns with his vision for America.
