Trump Fires Over 1,000 Biden Appointees, Including Milley, Andrés

On his first day in office, President Donald Trump announced the dismissal of four appointees from former President Joe Biden’s administration, including celebrity chef José Andrés and retired General Mark Milley. In a post on Truth Social, Trump stated that his administration is actively working to remove over 1,000 appointees who do not align with his vision to 'Make America Great Again.' Andrés, who served on the President’s Council on Sports, Fitness, and Nutrition, expressed that he had submitted his resignation prior to the announcement, highlighting his commitment to bipartisan efforts in promoting health and fitness. Trump's dismissals also included Brian Hook and Keisha Lance Bottoms, with plans for further removals forthcoming. The swift actions reflect Trump's intent to reverse many of Biden's appointments and policies right from the outset of his presidency. The move has ignited discussions about the implications for bipartisan cooperation and the future direction of federal appointments.
