I guess they forgot Trump refused to take a $400,000 a year salary instead donated it to charity. The first president in history to do so. Unlike Barry's lavish golf vacations in Hawaii and other exotic destinations, Trump often owns the properties he plays golf on as well as the accommodations he stays at which are not charged to the taxpayer. The use of Air Force One as well as the security detail is charged to the taxpayer as with any president.
It makes me laugh when it comes to comparing Barry's spending 'habits' to Trump. Barry took a $10.6 trillion national debt he inherited... and almost doubled it before leaving office!!!
Give me a F-ing break.

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.

Before Trump ran for office, he frequently criticized Obama for taking trips and vacations that cost significant taxpayer funds
Kittinger has 'built custom furnishings for many of the finest offices in this county and throughout the world, including many government offices at both ends of Pennsylvania Avenue for more than two centuries.'
While Trump may have outspent Obama in the first five months, the 45th president has some catching up to do in June.
During Obama's first June in office, he spent almost a whopping $70,000.
So far, Trump has spent just south of $17,000 so far this month.

Trump also took Obama to task for playing too much golf.
Yet if current trends continue, Trump will surpass Obama in taxpayer expenditures on holiday travel as well as golfing.
In eight years in office, Obama spent $97million on travel that was not work-related, including ski trips to Aspen and vacationing in Martha's Vineyard, according to the conservative Judicial Watch.
In the first few months of the Trump administration, the president has spent in excess of $21million, according to CNN.
CNN also said Ossoff was going to win by 5 percentage points in GA.
This is how they looked when their own bullshit came back to slap them in the face.
You gotta love it!
