Obama compares Trump's White House renovations to 'Saddam Hussein opening a Cheesecake Factory'

Former president Barack Obama mocked Donald Trump’s White House renovations on Saturday (October 24), joking that the president had made the residence look like “Saddam Hussein opened a Cheesecake Factory”. Obama made the remark at a campaign rally in Cleveland while campaigning for Democratic candidates, 10 days before the midterm elections. He criticised Trump’s focus on renovation projects, including a new ballroom, helipad and gold-leaf additions, and argued that the president was not focused on lowering prices for voters.
