President Trump spent about $133,000 in taxpayer money on furnishings for the White House between January and May, Mic reported Wednesday.
Former President Barack Obama spent just about $51,000 during the same period, according to White House records though the same records show Obama spent more money later that year, narrowing the gap between how much each president spent on furnishings.
Obama spent about $70,000 during June of 2008, compared to just $17,000 for Trump this month. That still puts Trump at roughly $24,000 ahead of Obama's furniture spending at this point during Obama's presidency.
According to the Mic report, one of Trump's top dollar orders was a custom conference table from the Kittinger Company, Inc. that cost $13,000. According to Mic, former President Richard Nixon also had a Kittinger conference table, but paid for it himself.
