'Lousy president': Trump fires back at Obama over jibe that his White House looks like a Cheesecake Factory

Donald Trump told reporters at Joint Base Andrews that Barack Obama is 'not a smart guy' who never noticed the 'dirt and filth' on walls left uncleaned for years. 'Only a stupid person would run the country like that,' the president said. He insisted his renovation used 'the finest artisans in the world'. He then renewed the attack at a Mississippi rally on Monday night.

Obama mocked the gold, the new ballroom and the South Lawn helipad at a Saturday rally in Ohio.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent lunched at a Cheesecake Factory and mocked Obama's 'Darth Vader's tomb' museum.

The White House X account posted a mock menu listing Trump's 'accomplishments'.
