President wrapped up a busy first day in the White House with an announcement that he is removing over 1,000 federal workers who are not aligned with his vision to “Make America Great Again.”

Trump shared the news in a post to Truth Social on Monday night.

“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,” he wrote.

“Let this serve as Official Notice of Dismissal for these 4 individuals, with many more, coming soon: 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—YOU’RE FIRED!” Trump added.

The mention of Milley was notable as now-former President Joe Biden pardoned Dr. Anthony Fauci, Gen. Mark Milley and members of the Jan. 6 Committee hours ahead of Trump taking office on Monday, RSBN previously reported.

“I am exercising my authority under the Constitution to pardon General Mark A. Milley, Dr. Anthony S. Fauci, the Members of Congress and staff who served on the Select Committee, and the U.S. Capitol and D.C. Metropolitan police officers who testified before the Select Committee,” Biden said in a statement released early Monday.

“The issuance of these pardons should not be mistaken as an acknowledgment that any individual engaged in any wrongdoing, nor should acceptance be misconstrued as an admission of guilt for any offense. Our nation owes these public servants a debt of gratitude for their tireless commitment to our country,” he added.

Milley expressed his thanks to Biden in a statement on Monday.

“My family and I are deeply grateful for the President’s action today,” he wrote. “After forty-three years of faithful service in uniform to our Nation, protecting and defending the Constitution, I do not wish to spend whatever remaining time the Lord grants me fighting those who unjustly might seek retribution for perceived slights.

“I do not want to put my family, my friends, and those with whom I served through the resulting distraction, expense, and anxiety,” he added.
