From the eviction of Sarah Sanders spokeswoman for the Red Hen restaurant to a Senate intern shouting the "word" to the president, a number of Trump administration officials have been disrespected or harbaded by the political opponents in recent days.

The lack of civility towards those who work in the White House, combined with the often rude language of the president himself, has heightened fears that mutual tolerance among the political opponents that form the basis of American democracy is eroding. .

These concerns grew when Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Calif., Urged activists to continue tracking down Trump Cabinet members where and when they find them. Calls from a congressman to incite voters to confront officials were too much for his party's own leadership. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and minority leader Nancy Pelosi of D-Calif., Rejected Waters' remarks and Republican House Speaker Paul Ryan apologized.

Here is an overview of the personalities who serve President Donald Trump, who took pains for their work at the White House while they were not acting in their official roles.
