Mark Randall Meadows (born July 28, 1959) was a supporter of Ted Cruz for president and yet somehow finessed himself to become the White House Chief of Staff for President Donald Trump, beginning March 6, 2020. He was previously a U.S. Representative from North Carolina's 11th congressional district, which he resigned before completing his final term.
The pro-Cruz Meadows' tenure as Chief of Staff to Trump has been notable for causing Trump's approval ratings and reelection chances to plummet. Meadows has interfered with Trump opening up access to hydroxychloroquine to defeat the Wuhan virus, and has apparently urged Trump to shut down TikTok which is used by 80 million Americans.
