>President Donald Trump ran for office saying that the federal government spends too much. And now, with his own budget, he is leading the way by cutting spending in the White House and saving the American taxpayers a projected $22 million.
>The savings come from a cut in the amount spent on Michelle Obama’s budget as First Lady, an end to the large number of “czars” and so-called “fellowships” that Obama employed, and a smaller White House workforce, Forbes magazine reported.
>After the White House released its annual budget report last week, Adam Andrzejewski, president of government watchdog group OpenTheBooks.com, compared the newly reported budget to the last two years of the Obama administration.
>Andrzejewski (pronounced And-gee-eff-ski) noted that there are now 110 fewer White House employees since Obama left office, saving nearly $5 million alone. Also, the First Lady’s staff has been cut from 24 staffers to only five. Michelle Obama entered the White House with a staff of 22 costing nearly $2 million annually, up from the $1.4 million spent during the George W. Bush era.
>Another area of savings was the elimination of the so-called policy “czars” with which Obama stocked the White House staff. The Trump budget shows not a single “czar” employed for 2017.
>Trump also seems to have ended Obama’s shady “fellowship” positions, people responsible for such special programs as Michelle Obama’s “Let Girls Learn” initiative and others. Some of these “fellowship” candidates in Obama’s administration made up to $158,000 annually.
>Finally, another big savings was Donald Trump’s promise to forego his $569,000 annual Presidential salary (plus extras and amenities). The budget report does not list the president’s apportioned salary as a line item

None of Trump's family seems to be taking a salary either. Jared and Ivanka have positions but are listed at 0 last I saw.
Blows my mind how selfless this man and his family is in attempting to fix the country and how demonized he is by the left.

The 300 businesses that didn't fail.

He doesn't really need the money though. $569k is peanuts for him. But I do agree that he cares more about what he can do for the people than for himself.

He would save twice this amount by not going golfing one week

jesus christ. no wonder european leaders love obama, he's a champagne socialist just like them.
Jeremiah Campbell
Trump has to take a salary, he's just taking $1 a year. The founding fathers were such smart blokes that they didn't want the presidency to only go to people who could afford to support their family while they were being president and not working. Because of that taking a salary is required, although Trump, like Washington before him, is only taking a $1 per year salary.

He's running it as a business, if it was his own money. Something the past administration had no experience with. Re-read what Michelle and the czars cost and compare that with the value created.

Julian Richardson
Apparently the idea that Republicans can be bought off and by lobbyists and hold their seats and votes hostage is a foreign concept to you. The people that have power are not idiots m, they know how to manipulate things so that people that want to make a change will only be able to do so on (((their))) terms.

Evan Sanchez
Not saying he didn't try, he drained the garbage out of the White House, but from the way that Congress has been set up, he can't do it directly, that's something only the American people can do and with the level of disdain people have for their Congressmen and women as of late, I'm suspecting something on the lines of drainage of gutter trash happeneing very soon.
He just brought attention to their shit. That's step one, m8.
Tyler Carter
He also said no mandate which inherently means some won't be covered, so why didn't reporters ask that question instead of chimping out?
David Brown
>Not saying he didn't try, he drained the garbage out of the White House Yea especially all the Goldman Sachs employees roaming around the treasury department.

He basically never talked about all the corruption in congress. Just weak generalised statements. He could easily call out/shame all the congressmen who go against him because of their corporate owners. But he isn't doing that.
Xavier Howard
Well hes President of the most powerful nation on earth now for one
Juan Thomas

You mean he golfs on the weekends? OH MY GLOB!!!
At least he's not out golfing for WEEKS on end, like Obama did regularly.
How does reducing the deficit by $12 trillion translate to 'increased spending'?
I mean, he's GOING to, once the democlaps are at heel. He said so himself, infrastructure.

You should do some research before pulling shit out of your orifice and talking about other countries you know nothing about. Our deficit is much larger than 500 billion you fucking shitskin faggot. Are you eating dinner in your own puddle of diarrhea right now?
Joseph Evans
Right, and Trump complained about that a lot. Except if you tally up how often Obama went, and how frequently he did, versus how often Trump goes and how frequently he does, you will find that Trump is set to outspend Obama on golfing alone by a great margin within just the first four years lol
Ayden Campbell
