Trump Takes Over White House and Removes Four Key Officials Appointed by Biden
Donald Trump, on his first day back in the White House as the 47th President of the United States, made headlines by dismissing four senior officials who had been appointed during Joe Biden’s administration.
Staying true to his no-nonsense style, Trump announced the decision with his trademark phrase, “You’re fired,” signaling his intent to realign the government with his vision to “Make America Great Again.”
Among those let go were Jose Andres, a world-renowned chef and humanitarian who served on the President’s Council on Sports, Fitness, and Nutrition; Mark Milley, a seasoned military officer on the National Infrastructure Advisory Council; Brian Hook, a diplomat and foreign policy expert at the Wilson Center for Scholars; and Keisha Lance Bottoms, a former Atlanta mayor who had been serving on the President’s Export Council.
Trump’s return to the presidency also came with immediate policy changes. He ordered a freeze on all new federal regulations, effectively putting a pause on Biden-era policies, and signed an executive order requiring federal employees to return to full-time, in-office work.
