I remember reading a article where obama had a shoe butler, mooch complained that he never picked up his shoes in the private residence. obama would just leave them where he was standing at the time.

well, okay...as long as it’s not in a 32oz cup!!

Otherwise we’ll have to call Nanny Bloomers!

People get outraged that he has a butler to bring him things.

When you are paying someone $400,000 a year you don’t have him wandering around rummaging in the fridge.

Yes, I know he doesn’t take his salary, but it’s the principal of the thing.

Actually I believe they are called Stewards and their job is to bring stuff to the POTUS and they are valued and honored to do their jobs...

they made a movie about that butler, it is quite a big deal! :) he runs a lot of things...

Obama had them bring him Coke too.

On a mirror. Not in a glass.

Navy stewards - traditionally.

"...orders glasses of Coca-Cola..."

President Trump then most assuredly treats that person with dignity, respect, and appreciates them putting in an honest day of work.

These people. Moochle had 125 staff members serving her every need everything from dressers to pillow fluffers. The old record was something like 10 set by.....FLOTUS HRC.

Civilian I believe in the WH, many of them Black and serving for many years

Wasn’t there a book or movie about one guy who served multiple presidents.

the old butler since truman quit when moochie and her gay boyfriend came along. but that movie was really good!

The staff includes a Butler. Every President has had one.

They even made a movie about the Butler that left recently after many years in the Whitehouse.

This is standard in the White House, has been for decades. It's how the President signals the waitstaff.

It is also a commonplace in executive dining halls in corporations throughout America.

Important work meetings often take place over meals, and the CEO or other executives hosting meetings use an electronic signal to indicate when diners are ready for drinks or the next course. Basically protects confidentiality; servers don't have to hover or hang around the often sensitive conversations.

Really? I thought he had Regie bring it with his straw, Regies that is.

[Moonman62]

Trump can afford whatever wants, but he chooses well done steak, ketchup, and Coke.

Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding....WE HAVE A WINNER! You win these interwebs today with that post!!!!

Actually I think he donated his first quarterly salary to the National Park Service. So, it’s still being paid - he’s just giving it away.

I hope he’s minding his health! We need him at the top of his game.
