DOGE stopped an annual payment to Barack Obama for $2.6 million for
"royalties associated with Obamacare."
He's been collecting it since 2010, for a total of $39 million in taxpayer dollars.

Misleading:
The claim that President Obama received payments for royalties associated with "Obamacare" originates from a satirical news site in 2017 and has been debunked since.
DOGE has not reported any such cut and no evidence exists to support the claim.
