Official presidential photo of Donald Trump

The Trump Administration consists of the leadership of the executive branch of the United States government under the presidency of Donald Trump.

The Trump Administration officially began with President Trump's inauguration on January 20, 2017. Unofficially, it began immediately after the election of Donald Trump on November 8, 2016, as the next president of the United States. Due to the Obamagate controversy, Trump was never able to enjoy the traditional "honeymoon" afforded to most new presidents during their first 100 days by opposition media and critics.

The first persons hired to lead the Trump Administration were conservative Steve Bannon, as chief strategist and senior counselor to the president, and pro-establishment Reince Priebus, as chief of staff. The hiring of Priebus disappointed many of Trump's supporters who hoped that he would still "drain the swamp" – shrink the federal government – rather than rely on insiders to perpetuate the status quo. Eventually, many of the establishment figures, such as H.R. McMaster, Gary Cohn, and John F. Kelly were fired and replaced with more conservative officials.

Senate confirmations

Crossing the swamp by John McNoughton, 2018. [1]

By October 2017, U.S. Senate confirmations for Trump Administration nominations were proceeding at a very slow pace because of obstruction by anti-Trump Democrats.[1]

White House staff

This is an incomplete table of several White House staff positions of more high-profile members. Note: staff members work inside the White House in close proximity to the president, most all do not require Senate approval, and are not outside department or agency heads. They are the President's personal staff, and most do not hold cabinet rank with few exceptions, notably Senior Advisor Kushner, Chief of Staff Kelly, and National Security Advisor McMaster. Cabinet members, as most all staff as well, must go through the Chief of staff to gain access to the President.

Numerous positions held in previous White Houses remain unreported or unfilled. Some unfilled positions may be by design, and an effort to pare down the size of the staff.

While the First Lady of the United States has an Office and staff budget, including a Chief of Staff and Press Secretary, Melania Trump has been reluctant to assume a bureaucratic role. The President's daughter Ivanka Trump, who was delegated authority by the President-elect to hire White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus, works as an unpaid Presidential Assistant with her own chief of staff.

Senior staff have the title Assistant to the President, second-level staff have the title of "Deputy Assistant to the President", and third-level staff have the title of "Special Assistant to the President".
