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.

Return on investment already taking shape. What are your thoughts fellas???

President Trump has been make cuts since his first night in office. The cuts are adding up to already save the American taxpayers tens of billions of dollars.

In other news, President Trump reads the “fine print” before deciding whether or not to agree to something: https://www.infowars.com/donald-trump-is-blocking-a-g20-agreement-because-it-has-a-line-about-climate-change/

I won’t be happy until the White House is either burned down or made into a homeless shelter!

The British military burned down the first White House in the American-British War of 1812.

Later, the White House was rebuilt.

Personally, I would prefer the President be moved to a more secure location. The design of the White House and the location is not that great from a security standpoint. Such as having multiple buildings for the White House operations. Moving to a different location with a large, custom built building for the entire staff would be better.

The present president has a lot of experience building large buildings, this would not be that difficult to do.

Then, turn the White House into a full time tourist museum that would likely make the government a profit.

Its just too bad its so difficult to make cuts to government spending in general. Senators on both sides hate making cuts when it might cost them votes.
