Donald Trump has wasted no time in dismantling the legacy of the Biden administration, promising to \u201cidentify and remove\u201d more than a thousand of his successor\u2019s appointees.\u00a0
The 47th US president announced on his social media platform Truth Social at 12.38 am (5.38 am GMT) that four officials \u201cnot aligned with our vision to Make America Great Again\u201d had already been dismissed.\u00a0
\u201cYou\u2019re fired!\u201d Mr Trump wrote, referencing his catch phrase from the reality TV show The Apprentice.\u00a0
The Republican said he had removed Jose Andres from the President\u2019s 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\u2019s Export Council.
Earlier on Monday, the US President issued pardons for 1,600 Jan 6 rioters, including those convicted of violent crimes, and commuted the sentences of 14 others who stormed the Capitol four years ago.
He also signed a flurry of executive orders to withdraw the US from the Paris climate agreement and World Health Organisation, delay the ban of TikTok, stop federal employees working from home, and end government \u201ccensorship\u201d.
