(COMBO) This combination of file pictures created on July 19, 2016 shows Melania Trump (L), wife of presumptive Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, addressing delegates on the first day of the Republican National Convention on July 18, 2016 at Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland, Ohio, on July 18, 2016 and Michelle Obama, wife of US Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama, greeting the audience at the Democratic National Convention 2008 at the Pepsi Center in Denver on August 25, 2008. Donald Trump faced an embarrassing plagiarism scandal on July 19, 2016 that tarnished his wife Melania's prime-time speech to a Republican National Convention already roiled by an opening day rank-and-file revolt. It was a rough start to the four-day buildup to Trump's presidential nomination, one designed for maximum media exposure for the Republican standard bearer and his supporters. / AFP PHOTO / ALEX WONG AND PAUL J.

First Lady Melania Trump continues to out-class Michelle Obama in every way!

Our new First Lady has said she would make cuts to the Office of the First Lady and now there’s proof she’s coming through.

Two different reports compare Michelle and Melania’s spending and Melania comes out way on top in terms of being fiscally responsible.

According to Fox News, in her first year as First Lady, Michelle had 16 staffers, with salaries totaling $1.24 million a year. In comparison, Melania had just 4, totaling $486,700 in salaries.

A different accounting included more staff – Michelle had 24 to Melania’s 9.

Communications director Stephanie Grisham told Fox News:

“As with all things that she does, she is being very deliberate in her hiring, focusing on quality over quantity. It is important to her that the team is a good fit for what she wants to accomplish as first lady, and that everyone works well together. She also wants to be mindful and responsible when it comes to taxpayer money.”

“Mindful and responsible when it comes to taxpayer money” – imagine that! What a difference from Michelle – or Moochelle, as some have taken to calling her.

Who could forget her extravagant multi-million dollar vacations at the taxpayer’s expense! The Obamas’ vacations cost $97 million! It got so bad she even got SUED over them!

And let’s not forget the money wasted on Michelle’s failed school lunch program that students absolutely hated and threw in the trash, forcing schools to opt out to save money!

Meanwhile, Michelle complained that first ladies do not get paid!

But now she’s really cashing out – the Obamas are reportedly getting a whopping $65 million for a post-presidency book deal!

Fox News also noted that President Trump is saving the taxpayers millions over Obama on personnel, “When the White House personnel report was released in June, Forbes reported 110 fewer employees under Donald Trump than Barack Obama and said the projected four-year savings resulting from the cuts could be more than $22 million.”

Isn’t it nice to have a First Family that respects that the White House is the people’s house and are cutting the Obamas’ bloated personnel budgets and saving taxpayers’ multi-millions?
