Other possible omissions[edit]

I've cross-checked with an informal list I've maintained as I've consumed the daily news cycle during the Trump tenure.

notable
  • Michael Anton — news reports state that Anton resigned in April 2018, the evening before John R. Bolton began his new term
  • Ezra Cohen-Watnick — Cohen-Watnick resigned on August 18, 2017 following policy disagreements with H.R. McMaster
  • George Gigicos — White House Scheduling and Advance Director from the beginning of Donald Trump's presidency until 31 July 2017
  • Julia Hahn — in January 2017 Hahn was appointed Special Assistant to President Donald Trump and aide to strategist Steve Bannon
less notable

A former Breitbart writer and ally of Steve Bannon's is leaving the White House after less than six months of serving as the deputy chief of staff for the National Security Council.

NSC spokesman Michael Anton confirmed to CNN Thursday that Tera Dahl is exiting the group and will move on to a role "that she wants" at the US Agency for International Development.

  • Craig Deare

Craig Deare, whom Trump appointed a month ago to head the National Security Council's Western Hemisphere division, was on Friday escorted out of the Executive Office Building, where he worked in Washington.

  • Michael Kortan — Assistant Director for Public Affairs; longtime Comey aide
  • David Laufman — Justice Department official who helped oversee the controversial probes of Hillary Clinton

David Laufman, an experienced federal prosecutor who in 2014 became chief of the National Security Division’s Counterintelligence and Export Control Section, said farewell to colleagues Wednesday. He cited personal reasons.

  • Stefan Passantino — Deputy White House Counsel

A top aide to President Trump's housing secretary nominee, Ben Carson, was fired and led out of the department's headquarters by security on Wednesday after writings critical of Mr. Trump surfaced in his vetting, according to two people briefed on the matter.

Shermichael Singleton, who was one of the few black conservatives in the Trump administration, had been working at the Department of Housing and Urban Development since Jan. 23 as a senior adviser. He was preparing a cross-country tour for Mr. Carson, who is expected to be confirmed by the Senate this month.

Pence world

CNN has learned that longtime senior staffers Mark Paoletta and Daris Meeks are leaving Pence's office. The announcement was made by chief of staff Nick Ayers in a staff meeting at the beginning of the week. Paoletta and Meeks' departures follow two other top Pence aides who have left the Office of the Vice President: chief of staff Josh Pitcock and press secretary Marc Lotter. The vice president's staff is considerably smaller than the West Wing, making the departures a more notable shift at the beginning of the new year.

If someone can add these people that would be great. and try to clean up this page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_appointments_by_Donald_Trump that would be nice some of them are on that page and the others are on this page. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holdovers_from_previous_administrations_in_the_Trump_administration#Other_independent_agencies Thanks:96.36.68.29 (talk) 20:30, 9 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I have worked the list through . done means they are in the list, - means they are not. --Neun-x (talk) 09:19, 4 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Retirements included?[edit]

Should retirements be included as dismissals and resignations? I can see their inclusion when they retire in protest, but otherwise, they are a normal part of the career process. Orville1974 (talk) 04:05, 18 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move 3 September 2020[edit]

The following discussion is an archived discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

No consensus, after much-extended time for discussion. I note that comments of several participants without bolded votes also appear to be making arguments in opposition to the move (or, at least, are clearly not supportive of the proposal). BD2412 T 18:40, 22 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

List of Trump administration dismissals and resignations → List of former Trump administration officials – While this page was orignally intended to list those who were fired or who resigned in protest, it is now a fairly complete list of anyone who no longer holds a particular position in the administration. It is not just "dismissals and resignations", but also routine turnover including retirements, promotions, expirations of fixed terms, and deaths – the current title is downright wrong! Moreover, since Political appointments by Donald Trump and its subarticles lists only the current officeholders, who will all eventually leave their positions, it will be more appropriate to merge these pages to provide a comprehensive picture of appointees during the administration in each department, though that may be a separate discussion. Reywas92Talk 22:45, 3 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Most of the entries here are controversial or newsworthy. Even some "routine" changes (ICE Director Albence retires, Ambassador to Ukraine Taylor's temporary assignment ends) are worth including. Furthermore, the sheer magnitude of personnel changes in the Trump Administration is out of the ordinary. Rather than redefining the article, it's better to delete individual entries that don't belong. Also, there should be no new entries after November 3, 2020, since there are always departures at the end of a term. Jarnon (talk) 18:38, 5 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
This is false, the vast majority of this list is uncontroversial or not particularly newsworthy. Many do not even have sources or their own bio articles. It is a quite comprehensive list of people no longer in their positions. If you delete the deaths, promotions, acting officials, expirations of fixed terms, and other routine retirements that do not match the current title, this would be a much shorter list, and moreover one that is no longer a useful resource compiling individuals who served during the administration. If ICE/Ukraine are worth including but others are not, you must propose clear inclusion criteria. That does not seem workable. Reywas92Talk 09:42, 8 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
What Jarnon said. Trump is an extraordinary President, and has a much more bigly list of such people than any other President in history. HiLo48 (talk) 23:49, 5 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
The above discussion is preserved as an archive of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

Transclusion[edit]

I propose transcluding the articles that are currently a bare reference in their own section. Would facilitate searching. Any arguments for or against? RudolfoMD (talk) 19:18, 28 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
