STUNNER: Look How Much Melania Is Spending as First Lady Compared to Michelle

It’s easy to make a lot of assumptions about a former fashion model married to a billionaire more than 20 years her elder.

One easy assumption may be that she’s a bit of a diva; especially in comparison to someone who was raised on Chicago’s South Side and had a habit of being photographed shopping at Target’s.

However, while Melania Trump may be far from the typical girl next door, she’s most certainly not the first lady diva that Michelle Obama — and even other first ladies were.

In fact, her relative modest behavior in the White House may be saving the taxpayer millions.

As told by the Inquisitr, According to a report published by a private organization that tracks government spending, Open the Books reveals that Melania Trump has saved more money with her staff than Michelle Obama did as the first lady. Melania has 19 fewer staffers dedicated to her office than Michelle did in the White House. Mrs.

Trump has five staffers versus the 24 staffers who served Michelle Obama, the Fiscal Year 2009 budget shows. Former First Lady Laura Bush had 18 staffers.

The leaner White House payroll is said to be saving taxpayers $22 million dollars a year, a figure helped by Donald Trump, Ivana Trump, and Jared Kushner working for no salary.

This isn’t to say that anyone named Trump is going to be confused with the Coolidges in terms of frugality.
Calvin Coolidge was so cheap that his unwillingness to spend his or the taxpayers’ money was well-known.

According to the New England Historical Society:

As president, [Coolidge] had protracted battles with the White House housekeeper over the costs of dinners, once famously insisting that six hams for sixty guests were too many. And even pennies were important to the president.

In her book, “My Thirty Years Backstairs at the White House”, White House maid and seamstress Lillian Parks Rogers recalled that when Coolidge dispatched a servant to pick up newspapers, he expected his change.

“If they thought it was a tip, they would soon find out differently, because the President would go around saying, ‘Somebody owes me seven cents.’ And he meant it.”

No one expects Melania and Donald to go to this extreme.
But it’s good to know the Trumps understand even billionaires should be mindful stewards of our tax dollars.

Rosie O’Donnell Calls for Trump Assassination… REGRETS IT IMMEDIATELY!

Rosie O’Donnell and Donald Trump have been engaged in a bitter feud for over a decade. Rosie’s hatred for Trump has only escalated since he became president, but this week, she took things way too far when she called for him to be assassinated. It didn’t take long for Rosie to learn that she’d made a huge mistake… Mad World News reported that Rosie took to Twitter on Saturday to endorse a ridiculous new game called Push Trump Off A Cliff Again. The despicable game allows players to kill Trump by pushing him off a cliff. Push Trump Off A Cliff Again https://t.co/YguB3aG8EP — ROSIE (@Rosie) July 15, 2017 The virtual game instructs players to “Take out your frustrations with [the] President by pushing him off a virtual cliff, or into a virtual volcano.” An image of Trump screams things like “Bye!” and “I’m really rich!” as he tumbles to his death. Twitter users immediately fired back at Rosie and let her know that simulating the assassination of the president is never okay. Bett

WALSH: Yes, Ilhan Omar’s Alleged Adultery Matters. Here’s Why.

According to court documents, Rep. Ilhan Omar allegedly had an affair with a married DC consultant. The wife of Omar’s alleged lover made the claims in divorce filings, insisting that her marriage was ultimately destroyed by the tryst between the congresswoman and her husband. Previous reports claimed that Omar “dumped” her own husband earlier in the summer. Conventional modern wisdom would tell us that the only newsworthy and relevant aspect of this salacious story is the possible abuse of campaign funds, as reported by the Washington Examiner: Omar’s alleged paramour, Tim Mynett, has been a fundraising consultant for Omar’s 2018 and 2020 campaigns… …Of the $145,406 reported earnings by the E Street Group during the 2018 campaign cycle, $62,674 came from Omar’s campaign. Not counting payroll taxes and transfers to Minnesota’s Democratic Party, E Street Group was Omar’s second-largest vendor, according to FEC data. From Labor Day through the end of the year, E Street Group ate up mo

Newly Declassified FBI Materials Show Bureau Treated Clinton, Trump Campaigns Differently On Foreign Interference

FBI documents and communications that were recently declassified show the bureau treated foreign interference on Hillary Clinton’s campaign differently than it did with President Donald Trump’s campaign. Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham (R-SC) released the documents on Sunday with a lengthy statement about the contents: There was a clear double standard by the Department of Justice and FBI when it came to the Trump and Clinton campaigns in 2016. These newly released documents indicate that a foreign government was trying to influence the Clinton campaign through a campaign associate and the FBI was seeking a FISA warrant. However, the Bureau, as it is supposed to do, required that Hillary Clinton be defensively briefed about the matter so she could engage in corrective action. When it came to the Trump campaign, there were four counterintelligence investigations opened against Trump campaign associates. Not one time was President Trump defensively briefed about th
