Former President Barack Obama sharply criticized President Trump's Washington, D.C.-area renovation projects during a campaign stop in Cleveland, Ohio. Speaking in support of Democratic candidates Amy Acton and Sherrod Brown, Obama compared the Trump White House renovations to the surreal image of Saddam Hussein opening a cheesecake factory.
The remarks were delivered as part of Obama's broader campaign efforts for the midterm elections. By focusing on the physical alterations and aesthetic choices of the Trump administration, the former president used humor to deride current White House operations before a crowd of supporters in Ohio.
