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.

Not to mention the payroll for the 26 or so aides Mooseshell had.

If Trump was smart, he also had the place fumigated and deloused.
Probably had to can a lot of be Obama stuff because it had bugs. Electronic and otherwise.
Wonder how that compares to cash spent in the middle of the night in Iran.
Bastxxxxds. I hope my President sits proudly at that new table.
He has paid for it 1000 times over so far.
I’m sure he had the cash in his pocket.
Considering he’s not drawing a salary, what’s the problem?
Right. Pres Trump doesn’t take his $400k salary.
It was replacing all that BS artwork Moochie
put up. God that was some ugly stuff.
It would have take twice that amount just to fumigate the place after Obama!
The rug and curtains are terrible. They needed a rug and curtains that coordinated better with the classic furniture and chandelier and the modern artwork and tied everything together visually.
Trump should seat all MSM craptoids on peach crates or upside down buckets at any briefings, to show he is cutting costs.
Winning
Make The White House Great Again !

Of course, prices haven’t changed in the past 8 years, have they? DJT likely bought fewer items of slightly better quality and still paid more due to rising prices.
The constant parade of rap “artists” left lots of jerry curl juice on the upholstered furniture, rendering it useless.
Fake news alert! Fake news alert! Few days back the story was Trump spending all his own money to replace chandeliers, tv’s, etc
They replaced the Lincoln portrait with that? Did they call it the Gaye bedroom?
I would bet that is incorrect
That’s because Barry spent most of his time flying around on Air Fart One for golf and fund-raising outings.
