Executive Office appointments of the first Trump administration
The core White House staff appointments, and most Executive Office of the President officials generally, are not required to be confirmed by the U.S. Senate , with a handful of exceptions (e.g., the director of the Office of Management and Budget , the chair and members of the Council of Economic Advisers , and the United States trade representative ). There are about 4,000 positions in the Executive Office of the President.

Notes
White House Chief of Staff
Reince Priebus
January 20, 2017
July 31, 2017
His tenure may be considered the shortest in the office's history, excluding interim appointments, if James Baker 's separate tenures as Chief of Staff under two different presidents (Ronald Reagan and George H. W. Bush) are combined (Baker served only 150 days as Bush's Chief of Staff).[ 77]
John F. Kelly
July 31, 2017
January 2, 2019
President Trump announced that General Kelly would be leaving at the end of 2018.[ 78]
Kelly commented, "The vast majority of people who worked in the White House were decent people who were doing the best they could to serve the nation. They’ve unfortunately paid quite a price for that in reputation and future employment. They don’t deserve that. They deserve better than that, because they kept the train from careening off the tracks. The climate—the work environment—is always set by the boss. And people, generally speaking, endured it as long as they could. Until they couldn’t."[ 79]
Mick Mulvaney
January 2, 2019
March 30, 2020
After leaving his role as White House Chief of Staff,[ 80] Mulvaney served as Special Envoy for Northern Ireland beginning on May 1, 2020. He called Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on the evening of January 6, 2021 , to inform him of his resignation from the role of Special Envoy.[ 81] [ 82]
