On Friday, the Trump administration released their annual report to
Congress on White House Office Personnel. It includes the name,
status, salary and position title of all 377 White House employees.
The report also said that Trump decided not to take a dime of his
salary; instead he donated it to an amazing cause! See below.
The report also showed that President Trump is far better at saving
money than Obama was. The total annual White House salaries under
Trump are $35.8 million vs. $60.9 million under Obama, a savings of
$25.1 million.
Here are some other key findings:
There are 140 fewer employees on White House staff under Trump than
under Obama at this point in their respective presidencies.
Thirty-nine fewer staffers are also dedicated to The First Lady of the
United States (FLOTUS). Currently, there are only five staffers
dedicated to Melania Trump vs. forty-four staffers who served Michelle
Obama (FY2009)
However, it's what the report said Trump did with this salary that has
everyone talking.
Instead of taking his salary, Trump donated all $400,000 to the
Department of the Interior where it will be used for construction and
repair needs at military cemeteries! AMAZING!
It's so great to have a President who loves our brave military men and women so much!
Oh, and where's the media coverage of this? That's right, they don't
cover anything decent that the President does...

What's hilarious is the fact that you either haven't heard about, or don't care about the fact that the cost of Trumpie's vacations and golfing trips alone in ONE YEAR have more than made up for the lower salary costs, by SEVERAL MULTIPLES. Then, add to that all of the EXTRA expense accounts that Trumpie's grifting kleptocratic cabinet members have been costing the US taxpayer, whether we're talking about
- Trump's spawn Eric and Donald Jr. flying around the world on
the taxpayer's dime, with full Secret Service protection, costing several million $$$ so far and counting making deals for the Trump Organization often blurred with meetings with foreign leaders supposedly for official diplomacy. (A violation of the Emoluments Clause, by the way, along with other laws dealing with corruption).
- Human Services Secretary Tom Price, who in the 231 days he spent in office before being unceremoniously shown the door spent over $1 million in taxpayer dollars on travel in private jets and government aircraft.
- EPA Administrator Scott Pruit's excursions have cost you and me a pretty penny. His trip to Rome costing an estimated $120,000, and his trip to Morocco cost at least $100,000, Oh, and his use of a 20-person security detail cost the taxpayers $832,000 in his first three months as the head of the agency. Then there was that $43,000 sound-proof booth in Pruitt’s EPA office. But more to come...he's facing 11 internal investigations by the Ethics office.
- Secretary of the Treasury Steven Mnuchin has been keeping up with his fellow grifters, spending more than $1 million on flights on military aircraft during the last year,
- Oh yea, and remember ho much Ben Carson spent (or, his wife that Ben threw under the bus and blamed) on his luxury dinette set?
I don't have time to list all the Trump Kleptocracy grifters, because so far the Trump Administration is the most corrupt and swampy Administration in US history, and they haven't even finished their 2nd year!
LOL
You are such a typical right wing hypocrite. You only look at one side of the ledger - the savings of $25.1 million in salaries, but ignore the bigger picture - the hundreds of millions in extra
and unnecessary costs of the Trump Kleptocracy White House!
