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.

Gotta be tough to get that Wookie smell out of the upholstery
Hmmm, Kenyan motiff, Trump motiff...
I’m seeing direct cause and effect here.
Not guilty!
Besides, the cost of moving that Churchill bust back in was well worth it.
That’s because Obama didn’t care about the White House. President Trump cares about the White House and is replacing as needed.
but we saved more than that in presidential salary alone.
Wookie hair never really comes off of upholstery.
I’m sure the congressional democRATs will add this to their list of impeachable offenses that already includes two scoops of ice cream, “covfefe,” and driving a golf cart on the green...
Trump was only replacing all the things the Clintons stole.
Insofar as the Obamas...how much can a zebra skin cost, anyway?
Mooshelle made up for it her 25, or so, paid, “attendants”, vacations, and wardrobe.
Never mind the hundreds of billions Obama wasted on his friends at "climate change" companies, Iran, shady community organizing groups and every crooked quasi-governmental criminal enterprise imaginable.
It ain’t cheap getting rid of the Obama “stank.”
Wow! Is that a paper clip rug?
Now that there is funny. I don’t care who you are.
Obama was barely at the White House. He spent most of his time flying off to extravagant parties and vacations on our dime. But what does that matter? Trump spending $133,000 is much more deserving of outrage than Obama spending millions on the 2-3 lavish vacations per year that he took.
So... Trump put money back into the economy? ...and that’s bad because?
The leftist media measure all things in reference to Obama. They’re a joke.
Of course they will never mention that POTUS Trump is donating his entire salary to charities and/or helping pay down US debt.
$133k barely paid for 2 hrs of plane flight time on Dorkbama the lazy Muslim eunuch’s first vacation. Nice try, Daily Mail.
Real furniture costs more than milk crates and roll-always...
Didn’t the Obama’s buy a bunch of “african” art? I’m sure that had to be replaced.
he’s not getting paid though, right?
