Trump announced a purge of the authorities. More than a thousand people who do not match his vision have to leave

“The Personnel Office is working to identify and remove more than a thousand previous administration appointees who do not fit our vision to Make America Great Again,” Trump wrote on the Truth Social network.

The new president, who faced as many as four criminal cases last year, criticized the Ministry of Justice in his opening speech, which he accused of “malicious, violent and unfair” behavior. “The scales of justice will be balanced again,” he added ambiguously.

A few hours after taking the oath, Trump also signed the first executive orders with which he wants to start fulfilling the priorities of his second four-year term. With one of them, he canceled 78 decrees and a memorandum of his predecessor Joe Biden, with another he confirmed the already announced withdrawal of the United States from the Paris Climate Agreement.
