John Michael Mulvaney ... serving in President Donald Trump's cabinet as Director of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and Acting Director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) since 2017. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mick_Mulvaney
Steven Terner Mnuchin ... an American former investment banker who is serving as the 77th and current United States Secretary of the Treasury as part of the Cabinet of Donald Trump. Previously, Mnuchin had been a hedge fund manager. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steven_Mnuchin
Meadows is not mentioned. Bit later another guy (sorry, names escaped me here) says he doubts if either Mnuchin or Lighthizer could handle the job with pressure coming on. He thinks Trump could even leave the job vacant and manage the role himself. Hmm.
A savvy political operative didn't last. A former military guy didn't last. Who now?
