Former presidents get a budget. I think it's roughly a cool million a year.

Trump doesn't like paying for anything out of his own pocket (if there's any money left). Actually, this is all probably just another scam to fundraise more cash.

just because he left the White House? He's going to wring every last cent he can from his cultists.

I'm just surprised it doesn't say "Office of the Real President" or some such.
