Staff Reports
President Donald Trump has made a name for himself as a master of the executive pink slip, showcasing a no-nonsense approach during his tenure at the White House. It appears that he’s gearing up to play that familiar tune again, with plans to send over a thousand Biden-era staffers packing faster than critics can say “coup.” Anyone who dared align themselves with the previous administration may want to update their resumes, because Trump’s already sharpening the axe.
Upon taking office, Trump revealed that cleaning house in Washington D.C. was top of mind, even if it meant letting go of celebrity chef José Andrés, who famously traded his spatula for a spat with the former president. Among the initial group facing the chopping block were a handful of high-profile figures, including Gen. Mark Milley, Brian Hook, and Keisha Lance Bottoms, demonstrating that no one is safe when Trump’s in charge.
At 12:30 am, President Trump was STILL UP, letting us know that he fired over 1,000 Biden appointees “who are not aligned with our vision.”
He also fired Mark Milley from the National Infrastructure Advisory Council.

In a true Trumpian reveal on Truth Social, he announced that the first day was only getting started and his Presidential Personnel Office was laser-focused on identifying and removing anyone who doesn’t share the “Make America Great Again” vision. It’s as if he was giving potential staffers a blunt warning: if they’re not on board with Team Trump, they’re outta here. Might as well get the popcorn ready; everyone loves a good firing drama.
Despite the mass firings, the new administration isn’t just about cleaning house — they’re also filling it back up with only the “best of the best.” With more than 1,300 Day One hires, Trump has set a new record that comes with a cherry on top. His team has pledged to be meticulous in their selections, sifting through applicants to ensure only true patriots step in to fill those coveted roles. Aren’t the hiring numbers impressive? The administration is eyeing a total of 4,000 new hires in the weeks to come.
One can’t help but chuckle at the irony of it all. As Trump gears up to reshape the White House staff into his vision of governance, one can only imagine the anxious looks on the faces of current employees. After all, in Trump’s world, the only thing certain is that change is just a termination notice away. For better or worse, the Trump administration seems to be sending a very clear message: align with the vision, or face the consequences.
