I've read more books on the Trump administration than I should. The books usually treat some people worse than others. Jared Kushner and Ivanka do well sometimes, very poorly in other books. And so forth for other major players.
One player who seems to have been able to survive without major enemies, or at least without participating in major controversies. is Secretary of Treasury Steven Mnuchin. The sole issue in my readings for which I remember him being criticized is his opposition to banning travel from Europe early in the pandemic.
Otherwise he seems to have operated quietly, not being criticized by Trump when everyone else was. I may have missed some criticism since I wasn't conscious of his invisibility from the beginning.
His memoir would be interesting, to see how he did it.
