In a dramatic start to his presidency, Donald Trump has initiated a significant purge of Biden appointees, announcing the dismissal of over 1,000 officials. Among those removed are four high-profile figures, including former Iran envoy Brian Hook and celebrity chef José Andrés, who claimed he had already resigned prior to the announcement. The former Atlanta mayor, Keisha Lance Bottoms, was also targeted, questioning the timing of her termination. Trump declared his intention to continue the purge with promises of more firings to come, positioning the actions as part of a broader strategy to align the administration with his Make America Great Again vision.
