Former President Barack Obama mocked Donald Trump for his obsession with renovating the White House, saying the president would be more comfortable on HGTV than serving as commander-in-chief. During a rally in Ohio, Obama pointed out Trump's controversial construction of the State Ballroom and his alteration of the Rose Garden, noting he had paved over it and added a helicopter pad to the South Lawn.
The former leader also criticized Trump for his gold obsession, questioning why he was decorating the White House with gold everywhere, likening it to Saddam Hussein opening a Cheesecake Factory. The crowd erupted in applause and cheers at Obama's jab, and he continued by claiming Trump was not focused on lowering prices for the American people.
This is the second time in a week that a former president has ridiculed Trump for his White House renovation projects, with Bill Clinton also targeting him recently for allegedly making the Rose Garden look like Liberace's bathroom.
