Donald Trump: US President Donald Trump has reacted sharply to the New York Times report in which questions were raised about the departure of a large number of legal officials from the Trump administration. Trump said that this is being presented as negative news, whereas in reality it is a good thing for his government. He claimed that many of the people who left the administration were linked to leftist ideology and the so-called ‘deep state’, while some officials were fired by his government.

Called the New York Times report misleading

Donald Trump said that the New York Times has published the news with the title ‘Major exodus of legal talent in the Trump administration’ and presented it as if it is a bad thing. According to Trump, the reality is completely different from this. He said that the people leaving the administration were ‘radical leftists, people associated with the deep state and elements who were harming the country and misusing the government.’

‘Many people did not go themselves, they were expelled’

Trump said in clear words that not all the people leaving the administration left voluntarily. He claimed that many of those officers had been removed from their posts by his government. Trump said that the New York Times is trying to portray this development as a serious crisis, whereas it is a positive change in line with his government’s policies.

Mentioned the ‘Make America Great Again’ agenda

The US President said that his government wants to work with people who support the agenda of ‘Make America Great Again’ (MAGA). He said that his team needs people who work to strengthen the country, not people who try to weaken America.

Obama and Biden administration also targeted

Trump alleged that many officials leaving the administration were appointed during the tenure of former Presidents Barack Obama and Joe Biden. He said that in many cases such people should not have represented America from the beginning. According to Trump, his government is working to make the administration in line with its policy goals by removing such officials.

Best wishes to the departing officers

Trump criticized the officials leaving the administration, but also wished them well for their future. He said that those leaving should move towards ‘bigger, better and brighter opportunities’ in the future. Trump said that he fully supports her and wishes for her bright future.

At the end of his statement, Trump reiterated that his priority is to keep such people in the administration who consider America’s interests paramount and are committed to pursuing the goal of ‘Make America Great Again’.
