Those leaving councils and a think tank include retired Gen. Mark Milley, former Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms, chef Jose Andres, and scholar Brian Hook.

President Donald Trump announced the firing of four high-profile appointees early Tuesday morning, according to a post he made on Truth Social.

Trump said in a statement on Tuesday after midnight that he fired retired Gen. Mark Milley from the National Infrastructure Advisory Council; Brian Hook from the Wilson Center for Scholars; former Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms from the President’s Export Council, and celebrity chef Jose Andres from the President’s Council on Sports, Fitness, and Nutrition.

“You’re fired!” he wrote at the end of his post.

“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 before announcing the names of those he terminated.

He added later that the message should “serve as Official Notice of Dismissal for these 4 individuals, with many more, coming soon.”

Andres released a statement on social media platform X that he had already stepped down from his position this past week.

“I was honored to serve as co-chair of the President’s Council on Sports, Fitness, and Nutrition. My fellow council members—unpaid volunteers like me—were hardworking, talented people who inspired me every day,” he wrote on Tuesday.

“I’m proud of what we accomplished on behalf of the American people … like a historic partnership between the White House and every major sports league to increase access to sports and health programs for kids.”

He then wrote that he hopes Trump “exercises his presidential authority so the Council can continue to advocate for fitness and good health for all Americans.”

“These are bipartisan issues … nonpartisan issues,” he wrote.

Bottoms, Milley, and Hook, who had served as Trump’s envoy to Iran in his first term in office, have not released public statements after Trump’s announcement.
