When the White House personnel report was released in June, Forbes reported 110 fewer employees under President Trump than President Obama; a projected four-year savings would be more than $22 million.

First-Lady Melania Trump is following a similar path with personnel reductions saving millions.

Melania Trump has something Michelle Obama will never have: class.

Melania doesn't need to have a horde of her friends sitting around, doing nothing and collecting taxpayer money.

One more reason to love Melania.

Let’s remember that Mrs. Obama is a Princeton graduate and probably needs more assistance. What’s $22MM of other people’s money?

If she is down to 4 from 16, that’s a 75% reduction.

I like this new concept that the presidents wife doesn’t have a policy role.

I just read this comment below an article:

“Michael’s staff cost more because someone had to shave it’s face twice a day.”

“If she is down to 4 from 16, that’s a 75% reduction.”

From the article:

First-Lady Melania Trump employs four assistants for a total payroll of $486,700 per year.

Michelle Obama employed 16 to 24 people for a total annual payroll of $1,240,000+ per year.  Mrs Trump has reduced the costs of First-Lady by over 60%.

There’s no way any first lady needs 16 assistants.

I wonder how many Mrs. Bill Clinton had? Maybe even more than 16 since she thought of herself as co-president.

And Laura Bush had a similar number as Mrs. Obama.

I remember reading a few years ago that when Hillary - the multiple felon who is above the law - was giving a PAID speech in Canada, she demanded and got 65 secret service guys and this was AFTER she was Secretary of racketeering, I mean state.

It might be Government math, but then it would be 200%

The article discusses payroll, not personnel.
