On his first full day back in the White House, President Trump met with congressional leaders and made headlines by announcing he would fire over 1,000 presidential appointees not aligned with his vision. He took action against prominent figures such as chef Jose Andres and retired General Mark Milley. In addition to the firings, Trump hinted at a forthcoming massive infrastructure announcement, though the specifics remained undisclosed. This approach of prioritizing infrastructure, a challenge for his previous administration, contrasts with Biden's successful efforts in securing significant infrastructure funding.
