Former President Barack Obama mocked President Donald Trump's White House renovations Saturday, comparing the historic residence to a Cheesecake Factory run by Saddam Hussein while campaigning for Democrats in Ohio.
Obama delivered the jab during a Cleveland rally supporting Democrat gubernatorial candidate Amy Acton and Senate candidate Sherrod Brown, criticizing Trump's priorities just 10 days before the midterm elections.
"I mean, I don't know if you've noticed, but he seems very focused on home renovations," Obama said. "He should be on HGTV."
