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]
