"Mulvaney saw Trump's victory as an opportunity to rise in Republican ranks"

But everything seemed to change for Mulvaney when Trump won. While he was always a reluctant Trump supporter — once calling candidate Trump “a terrible human being” — Mulvaney saw Trump's victory as an opportunity to rise in Republican ranks and advocate for his positions from a more prominent perch. With few Republicans willing to work in a Trump administration, Mulvaney made an aggressive bid for Office of Management and Budget director, striking an uncharacteristic détente with Ryan just as his Freedom Caucus friends were planning to boot him from the speaker’s chair.

Ryan recommended Mulvaney to top Trump officials for OMB, giving his candidacy added heft. Mulvaney in turn nominated Ryan to return to the speakership, a conservative endorsement that infuriated the Freedom Caucus.

Ass kisser. Political opportunist. Self serving careerist out to climb the great pole. That's Mulvaney. His job one is getting Trump reelected. Kelly was a moral troglodyte, but he was there to protect the country from the monster. Mulvaney just wants to buff him up.
