This article is about executive branch appointments. For judicial appointments, see List of federal judges appointed by Donald Trump.

Main articles: Political appointments of the first Trump administration and Political appointments of the second 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.

Previous officeholders

Office	Name	Took office	Left office	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]
