Mr. Mulvaney is not the only Trump appointee with a history of viewing him poorly. Nikki R. Haley, who recently announced her resignation as the United Nations ambassador, was critical of Mr. Trump during the primary campaign in 2016. “I think one thing we’ve learned about Donald Trump during this campaign is that he is not a very good person,” Mr. Mulvaney wrote. And there is one simple reason for that: Hillary Clinton.”In criticizing Mrs. Clinton, Mr. Mulvaney said that she was “just as ‘deplorable’ as she makes Trump out to be.”“She has peddled influence to make herself rich,” he said, explaining his thinking. She has broken the law.”While in Congress, Mr. Mulvaney was one of the most conservative and outspoken members of the House Republican caucus.
