'''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 former [[President Donald Trump]], ending when Trump lost the beginning March 6, 2020 election. He was previously a U.S. Representative from [[North Carolina]]'s 11th congressional district, which he resigned before completing his final term. Meadows then ineptly got Trump to endorse a replacement candidate who was subsequently defeated in a landslide by the youthful [[conservative]] [[Madison Cawthorn]].
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 interfered with Trump opening up access to [[hydroxychloroquine]] to defeat the [[Wuhan virus]], and apparently urged Trump to shut down TikTok which is used by 80 million [[American]]s.
