Why Has Donald Trump Dismissed Spanish Chef José Andrés?

Chef José Andrés has no place for Donald Trump. The founder of the NGO World Central Kitchen will no longer hold the position he had as a presidential advisor on sports, exercise, and nutrition.

Trump, when announcing the dismissal of the Spanish chef, assured: "Our first day in the White House is not over."

The new president has stated that his team is reviewing nearly a thousand appointments from the previous president, Joe Biden. Among them was the Spaniard with American nationality.

The reason for this dismissal is that José Andrés "is not aligned with our vision of Make America Great Again."

In his account on the social network Truth Social, Trump clarified in a message the new process of identifying appointments. "The staff of the Presidential Personnel Office is active in the process of identifying and firing more than a thousand presidential nominees." He assures that "they are not aligned" to "make America great again."

This way, he wanted his message to serve "as an official letter of dismissal" for four people, including José Andrés. Others affected include the former Chief of Staff of the U.S. Army Mark Milley, Brian Hook, Trump's former advisor for Iran, and Keisha Lance Bottoms. "You're fired," he concluded.
