Swamp life: Biden’s staff biggest ever, Jill’s nearly twice Melania’s

A White House payroll and staffing review by the group OpenTheBooks found that the White House staff under Biden is the biggest and most expensive in history.

“During President Joe Biden’s first three years, he spent $158.8 million on the largest White House payroll in American history, based on headcount. White House staff for FY2023 collectively cost $52,775,234,” said the report from OpenTheBooks CEO Adam Andrzejewski.

“No White House ever employed 500 staffers until Biden became president. The Biden White House employed 560 in FY2021 and 474 in FY2022. In 2023, the headcount increased by 50, to 524,” he added.

... Trump, at this point of his presidency, had 108 less and Obama 70 fewer.

Not only did Trump operate with fewer aides, but so did former first lady Melania Trump. She averaged between five to 12 aides.

... first lady Jill Biden’s staff count is at least 20 and rivals the sizable and much-criticized group that surrounded former first lady Michelle Obama. She had 24 assistants, said the report.

LIEden needs keepers.

And I can understand Mooch-chelle and Dr. Jill needing more staff than Melania. Meowr!
