Trump fires back at Obama over ‘Cheesecake Factory’ jab about White House: ‘Shows why you were a lousy president’

WASHINGTON — President Trump fired back Monday at Barack Obama’s weekend jab comparing Trump’s White House renovations to a branch of The Cheesecake Factory, claiming his predecessor did not take proper care of the historic residence.

“For you to say it’s a Cheesecake Factory — that just shows why you were a lousy president,” Trump told reporters at Joint Base Andrews before departing on a campaign trip to Mississippi.

“We have to explain that to Obama because he doesn’t understand it because he’s not a smart guy,” the president continued. “He’s not smart at all because of the way he ran the country. Only a stupid person would run the country like that.”

Trump also claimed Obama allowed the White House to fall into disrepair during his eight years in office.

“He doesn’t notice dirt and filth that hadn’t been cleaned, where the walls hadn’t been cleaned for years. He doesn’t notice areas that haven’t been painted,” Trump said.

“Guys like Obama don’t see it. You don’t see dirt. He doesn’t see filth. He doesn’t see broken ornaments on a building.”

The president defended his renovation work — which has included tearing down the East Wing to build a ballroom, repairing and repainting the North Portico columns of the residence, paving over the Rose Garden and blinging out the Oval Office in gold wall fixtures — as necessary for proper upkeep.

“I’ve taken care of the White House. I fixed it with the finest artisans in the world,” he said. “We have to explain to Obama that the White House is a symbol of America, and it has to be maintained properly.”

Even the White House’s official X account weighed in, poking fun at the restaurant’s massive menu – which averages about 20 pages and 250 items.

I wonder if Trump has Hussein wiretapped. The Kenyan really should check.

Yeah, that would be illegal.

Obama built an over-priced museum that resembles Darth Vader’s castle.

Laughable that Obama would criticize Trump’s renovation look when there is that monstrosity in Chicago, which is also massively over budget.

It’s only illegal if someone finds out about it.

“I wonder if Trump has Hussein wiretapped. “

Nah. But the reverse was possible and perhaps still ongoing. I was convinced Trump’s communications were bugged in his first term. Too many bizarre things were happening.

That would be a very bad thing. If he happened to be a Republican. Even the possibility would make the wiretap legal. That's just logic. Democrat logic.

IIRC, a rodent of some sort crawled out from Hussein’s dais during one of his tiresome bloviations.

Man, if the closest Cheesecake Factory wasn’t an hour away, I’d eat there every day until election day.

He even complained about Trump paving the Rose Garden so people can use it w/o ruining their shoes.

So many brilliant Black people in the U.S., and this lightweight political hack joker had to be our first Black president...

Embarrassing.

I think it is more like a Muslim minaret. I am waiting for the frequent calls to prayer to be broadcast from it.

Omygosh. Greg Gutfeld just roasted Obama beyond repair. He said The Cheesecake Factory offers 250 menu items, 700 ingredients, 100 sauces but Obama hates it because they don’t offer dog! Ha haaaaaaaaa!!!

Yup. The the only way to stop it is to lay siege since the thing is built like a Nazi Flak Tower.

Maybe Obama should focus more on paying the black men who built his ugly ass porta potty “Library” instead of stiffing them. Yeah to this day the jackass in chief has not paid them one red cent of what they are owed, yet he thinks he is going to get the “Brothers” to do his bidding for him, I dont think so..oh and Obama, why was there a sous chef found dead at YOUR mansion, my guess is he killed him since he knew too much

obama is intellectually vapid, a skilled mimic with no capacity for independent thought (need proof? watch his speeches).

President Trump is building a long-overdue ballroom with money from private donors.

Pres_ent Obama built a basketball court for his ego and stuck the taxpayers with the bill for it.
