Our first day in the White House is not over yet! Trump wrote, in a Truth Social post shortly after midnight. 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 reserved particular scorn for four appointees who he called out by name: José Andrés, the revered Spanish-American chef who founded the World Central Kitchen and who Biden appointed to the Presidents Council on Sports, Fitness and Nutrition; Mark Milley, the former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff who sat on the National Infrastructure Advisory Council; Brian Hook, a diplomat and professor who served as a trustee of the Wilson Center for Scholars; and Keisha Lance Bottoms, the former Atlanta mayor who served on the Presidents export council.
