Donald Trump

Inforgram - Yesterday Trump took a 7 minute nap during a press conference. That’s reportedly the 42nd time he’s dozed off in public.

The Washington Post reported Wednesday that the Trump administration pulled money from other government agencies and private donors, and then steered that cash into an account that usually holds a few million dollars for routine White House maintenance, known as "White House Repair and Restoration."  But since Trump took office last year, the administration has funneled $875 million to that account. That money consists of transfers from the U.S. Secret Service and the White House Military Office of about $500 million, with $305 billion from private donations. Another $70 million was also directed to the account, according to documents reviewed by the Post, but the source isn't identified.  In all, Trump plans to spend at least $900 million on "modernization projects" on White House grounds, including a helipad, improvements to Lafayette Square, a new visitor screening center, and the White House ballroom that was ruled illegal in federal court last week, with Trump planning to appeal.
