4. Why is Trump calling it "acting? Is it temporary?

9. Mulvaney didn't want the job, but I guess Trump had no other options.

So Mulvaney must have figured he'll stay until he can't take it anymore, then go back to his old job.

7. At this level of government, when someone can be in charge of one cabinet office and also "actively"

oversee another one, it basically says that neither one really has much of a function other than to get rich.

It's like making the CIA Director the "active" director of Treasury Secretary.
