Mick Mulvaney, the acting White House chief of staff, said in a wide-ranging discussion Wednesday night that he disagreed with President Donald Trump “every single day,” mocked a fellow administration adviser and accused Republicans of hypocrisy over the budget deficit.
“He’s the judge and he’s the jury,” Mulvaney said. He cited as an example the president’s top economic adviser, Larry Kudlow, who has clashed with Trump over tariffs. Addressing the budget deficit, which reached almost $1 trillion last year, Mulvaney, a deficit hawk when he was a Republican congressman from South Carolina, was surprisingly candid about his party.
That he and John Bolton, the former national security adviser, were among the first people subpoenaed for testimony proved that, Mulvaney said, as Democrats should have known that those efforts would result in a court battle as was the case in previous impeachments. Describing his time as chief of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, Mulvaney alternately praised and excoriated civil servants, saying the “deep state” was real and claiming that he was besieged by people who were resisting what he described as Trump’s agenda.
