Trump Dismisses Four Officials In First Truth Social Post

Four senior government officials appointed by Joe Biden have been fired by US President Donald Trump, who has hinted that more actions will follow.

He made this announcement in his first Truth Social post since his inauguration as the 47th President of the United States.

“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,” Trump wrote.

The post, titled “YOU’RE FIRED,” named the dismissed officials: 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 declared the post to serve as their “Official Notice of Dismissal.”

Using his iconic catchphrase from the TV show The Apprentice, Trump added, “YOU’RE FIRED!”

Sweeping Changes on Day One

Trump’s return to office has been marked by a flurry of executive actions aimed at reversing Biden-era policies. Among his notable moves was a regulatory freeze, halting the issuance of any new regulations until his administration fully takes control. Additionally, he signed an order requiring all federal officials to return to full-time, in-office work.

Trump also suspended 78 executive orders issued by Biden’s administration. The President made clear his intention to follow through on his campaign pledges, including reducing civil service roles and enhancing government efficiency.

In his 29-minute inauguration speech, Trump described his vision for a “Golden Age” for the United States. He criticized the Biden administration as “radical and corrupt,” accusing it of being incapable of managing domestic crises, referencing the Los Angeles wildfire as an example.

Several government institutions are now bracing for significant upheaval in the coming weeks as the Trump administration moves to implement further campaign promises, including potential department closures.

Trump’s aggressive start signals a decisive shift in governance and sets the stage for a controversial and transformative term in office.
