U.S. President Donald Trump has sacked four officials appointed by his predecessor, Joe Biden.
This is coming just a day after he was sworn into office.
Using his signature phrase, “You’re fired,” Trump signaled the beginning of sweeping changes under his administration.
The announcement was made via Trump’s first post on Truth Social since his inauguration as the 47th President of the United States.
In the post, titled “YOU’RE FIRED,” Trump declared, “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 four officials named in the post were: 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, Keisha Lance Bottoms, from the President’s Export Council.
The post served as their official notice of dismissal.
President Trump wasted no time reversing Biden-era policies. He implemented a regulatory freeze, halting the issuance of new regulations, and signed an executive order mandating the return of federal officials to full-time, in-office work.
Additionally, he suspended 78 executive orders issued during the Biden administration.
During his 29-minute inaugural address, Trump outlined a vision for what he called a “Golden Age” for America, sharply criticizing the previous administration.
He labeled the Biden administration “radical and corrupt,” accusing it of mismanaging domestic crises, including the Los Angeles wildfires.
Trump’s bold actions foreshadow significant upheaval across federal institutions. His administration has hinted at further dismissals, potential department closures, and a reduction in civil service roles to streamline government operations.
As the President works to implement his campaign pledges, many in Washington brace for an intense and transformative term that promises to reshape the U.S. government.
