**Purge**
On the first full day of Donald Trump's presidency as the 47th President of the United States, a decisive purge of former appointees from Joe Biden's administration has begun.
In a bold move, Trump announced on his social media platform that he is actively identifying and removing individuals whose views do not align with his vision to "Make America Great Again."
Among those removed from key positions is Admiral Linda Fagan, the Commandant of the U.S. Coast Guard.
Fagan's dismissal comes after criticisms regarding her failure to effectively address border security issues, alongside excessive focus on diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives, which allegedly compromised her leadership and operational effectiveness.
Also included in Trump's list of those dismissed is General Mark Milley, previously the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, known for his contentious relationship with Trump during the former president's initial term.
Milley had recently been given a pre-emptive pardon by Biden just hours before the expiration of his term, signaling contentious political undercurrents surrounding his role in the military and his past criticisms of Trump.
The newly inaugurated president emphasized that over 1,000 positions will be scrutinized, with further dismissals expected in the coming days.
These actions appear to mark a significant shift toward a government reframed by a conservative ideology, focused on national security and operational competence rather than politically driven diversity mandates.
As the Trump administration settles into office, the political landscape braces for a series of structural changes aimed at realigning American governance with traditional values and enhanced border security.
In a statement that encapsulates his administration’s stance, Trump declared: "The era of ineffective leadership is over. We will restore trust and strength in our military and federal agencies."
The implications of this initiative could reverberate throughout the federal government, as Trump rallies his supporters around a call for a return to accountability and effectiveness in leadership roles.
As the nation watches closely, the early days of Trump's tenure signal a commitment to dismantling what many conservatives view as the failures of the previous administration, rekindling hope for a renewed focus on America’s core principles.
