Trump Puts Obama To Shame, Demolishes His WH Website And Saves Taxpayers Money

A main difference between the administrations of Obama and Trump is the efficiency and cost effectiveness at which they go about problem solving. Trump is a man that likes to make things simpler, less regulations, less red tape, Obama is a man who loved to involve as many government agencies as possible in any decision making process, and create tons of regulation.

A prime example of this is the way they both decided to tackle the White House webpage. Trump’s administration is going to save $3 million dollars by destroying the current White House page and creating a new one.

According to the Washington Examiner, the new White House website debut was Friday. The redesign was part of a “months-long reconstruction process that aimed to bring the Trump administration’s digital presence up to current standards,” an official told the Examiner.

“The old site was a good temporary measure that allowed us to use what the previous administration had built, but it wasn’t where it needed to be in terms of providing people with content they can easily access,” the official is quoted as saying.

“It adapts the U.S. web design standards and uses a style that is clean, simple and presidential,” the official said.

Among the improvements: “in-depth policy updates,” search tools that can help users filter content better, and a look that’s “much cleaner.”

And all of that costs 60 percent less than what it used to.

“We will save taxpayers almost $3 million per year as a result of the redesigned site,” the official said.

“The president is focused on making smart use of taxpayer dollars and we thought that the previous site was, frankly, costing far too much.”

This is very representative of how the two administrations run the government, Obama liked to spend a lot on things that don’t matter that much, like a White House website, while Trump would rather save that money and have a functional and not flashy website.
