President Donald Trump has spent more taxpayer funds on White House furnishings in the first five months of his administration than his predecessor, Barack Obama, spent in the same span of time, it was reported on Friday.
American Bridge PAC, an organization which is 'committed to holding Republicans accountable for their words and actions,' obtained copies of federal procurement records through May 31, according to Mic.
The records show that in his first 150 days in office, Trump spent $133,053.95 on office furniture.
That's more than twice the amount that Obama spent in his first five months in office - $51,204.25.
The most notable purchase made by Trump was a $13,000 custom conference table from Kittinger Company.

Remember that big stain on the blue couch in the Yellow Room when Moo and Melania had tea. Both the couch and the nasty rug needed burning.

The Daily Mail is still mad at Melania winning her law suit against them and having to write her a $3 million check.

On second thought don't think of it...but it must have been costly!

I’d bet Trump doesn’t have a separate plane fly his golf clubs like zero did with the basketballs and the dogs.

The Clintons walked out with a ton of furnishing and were made to return some. Betting it wasn’t all returned.

Remember what the Clintonoids did when W took office?................ No one remembers because GW covered it up despite all the Freepers who knew he would finally let us see how evil the Clintons were. Instead they became brothers.

As it turns out he has to be paid due to some strange law or regulation. He donates his salary every quarter so he is not taking it but it is being paid out.

Well Clintons stole George Washington’s 200+ year old silverware.
As well they also took most of the antique furniture.
No joke.
