So Trump just fired Jose Andres via Truth Social. Andres, of World Central Kitchen, the guy responsible for providing thousands of meals to displaced locals after Helene, and Trump, who came here for a photo op in which he played a McDonalds worker and to perpetuate lies about FEMA.

Chef Andres is a living saint. He deserves the Nobel Prize.
And a hell of a chef--he taught me how to make Spanish Fried Eggs, and now there's no better way to do an egg than that.

(76,051 posts)I think that Andres is planning to run in 2026 against maga Rep. Andy Harris. Perhaps then he will "fire" the felon.

...
Andrés responded in his own social media post later on Tuesday morning, stating that he had already submitted his resignation earlier in the month, at the conclusion of his two year term.
"I submitted my resignation last week my 2 year term was already up 🤷♂️😅," the James Beard Award winner wrote on X. "
He continued, "I was honored to serve as co-chair of the Presidents Council on Sports, Fitness, and Nutrition. My fellow council members - unpaid volunteers like me - were hardworking, talented people who inspired me every day. Im proud of what we accomplished on behalf of the American people like a historic partnership between the White House and every major sports league to increase access to sports and health programs for kids."
Andrés concluded his post by expressing his hope that Trump "exercises his presidential authority so the Council can continue to advocate for fitness and good health for all Americans."
