Barack Obama Roasts Donald Trump's White House Decorations At Ohio Rally
The Chicago icon took the stage at a rally in Cleveland, Ohio, on Saturday, October 24th, to campaign for Democratic gubernatorial candidate Amy Acton and Senate candidate Sherrod Brown ahead of the midterm elections.
During his speech, the former president criticized President Trump's time in office, arguing that the president has focused more on renovating the White House than addressing rising costs for Americans. He then aimed at the current president's construction projects, including the planned ballroom, the revamped Rose Garden, and the new South Lawn helipad, before turning his attention to the president's apparent love of gold.
"There's gold everywhere," he said. "What's up with the gold? Everything's more gold. He's got the White House looking like Saddam Hussein opened a Cheesecake Factory. Just gold everywhere."
Social Media Users Lose It Over Obama's Cheesecake Factory Joke
The 65-year-old's hilarious comparison quickly made the rounds online, with social media users cracking up over his description of Trump's White House decor. Many also felt that the president would be offended by the former president's latest dig, especially given how directly the former president mocked his renovation projects and taste in interior design.
"He's got Trump so triggered, he made a lengthy post about Obama at 1:00 AM," responded a user on Instagram, referring to Trump's Truth Social follow-up. "Never talk about his crowd sizes or his tacky projects."
"I bet Trump won't sleep tonight," a user joked, as another commented, "Not Obama rage-baiting the Cheeto."
"But where's the lie?" a user asked.
"Trump lost sleep over this one," another echoed.
"Too bad Obama can't be president forever; the world would be at peace," a user commented, as another wrote, "He's so funny."
