While US President Donald Trump has been busy 'Making America Great' again, he certainly hasn't forgotten his reality TV catchphrase - "You're fired."

A little over a year into the current administration the turnover is almost 35 percent, more than double any other administration since 1981, when the National Journal started keeping track.

One staff member who does seem safe from the firing line is Kiwi businessman Chris Liddell. The 59-year-old has been working with Mr Trump since his inauguration and was recently promoted to deputy chief of staff.

As for the rest, here's a full rundown of departures, both forced and voluntary. This list is accurate as of Easter Friday, but may be out of date by the time you scroll to the bottom.

The President did fire someone as this list was being written.
