FIRST LATE-NIGHT POST OF TRUMP’S SECOND PRESIDENCY IS UP

For the first time as the 47th US president, Trump has fired off a late-night social media post punctuated with his catch phrase from reality television show The Apprentice.

On his own social media platform Truth Social, Trump said he was “actively in the process of identifying and removing” over a thousand Biden appointees who are “not aligned with our vision to Make America Great Again”.

He named four officials: 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 wrote. (BBC News)
