‘Saddam Hussein opened a cheesecake factory’: Obama’s White House joke sparks Trump counterattack

President Donald Trump has hit back at former President Barack Obama for comparing the renovated White House to the Cheesecake Factory restaurant chain, calling him "not smart at all" and a "lousy president." Speaking to reporters on Monday before boarding Air Force One, Trump was asked about Obama having "made fun of the Cheesecake Factory, uh, comparing it to the White House, in your decorations." "No. You know, I've taken care of the White House. I fixed it with the finest artisans in the world. We have reskinned it. It was in horrible shape," Trump said.
