My Take
Mick Mulvaney fascinates me as a study in versatility and ambition. Born in 1967 and trained at North Carolina, he worked as a lawyer, real estate developer, and economist before climbing through Congress to become OMB director and, eventually, acting White House chief of staff under Trump. You can debate his fiscal-hawk politics endlessly, but the sheer range of disciplines he leveraged on his way to the center of power is hard to ignore. I am drawn to polarizing figures precisely because they reward closer examination; the loudest critics and admirers usually both miss the more interesting middle. Mulvaney sits squarely in that thought-provoking territory.
