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.

Michelle is on record saying Barry smells bad and his initials are BO.
Isn’t Trump donating his salary to Treasury or something?
Embarrassing

I’ll pay attention to this stuff when,at the end of Trump’s terms,they compare ALL personal expenses,including vacations.
.
I’m sure they don’t buy cheap crappy junk furniture from Fred’s Furniture Barn, either......................
Well it costs a lot to get furniture to scale and art work appropriate to the setting...oh. Oh my.
The fumigation job was enormous….and removing all the listening devices in the chandeliers took weeks, no doubt.
Take it out of his salary! Forgot he isn’t taking one ...
I love Kittinger. And not just cuz they’re based in Upstate NY. It’s gorgeous stuff.
Compare the cost to Birdbrain Barry's vacations...
Solyndra anyone ?
And just because the POTUS purchased this stuff, doesn’t mean taxpayers paid for it. Maybe DJT wants to take it with him when he leaves office, and if he does my bet is he paid for it.
And how much is Trump saving us in salary?

And not just the White House! Like I said, gorgeous stuff. I wonder who paid for the furniture Critters and Sens ordered...
The President isn’t drawing the prescribed salary for his position, so the cost to the taxpayer is >0.00.
400K per year The overall White House budget is around 1.5 billion. The furniture costs are minuscule in the big picture.
Obamas installed a fake fireplace?
Does the President really decide what is spent on the White House?
Doesn’t the White House have a budget and a manager that runs the physical building and is responsible for upgrades and maintenance?
