Former President Barack Obama on Wednesday continued an unusual war of words over the Cheesecake Factory with President Donald Trump, marking the latest development in a battle over White House renovations that turned into a debate about the restaurant.
The saga began over the weekend when Obama mocked Trump’s effort to build a ballroom at the White House, saying the project resembled Saddam Hussein’s Iraqi palaces that were famously littered with gold decor. Trump has the White House “looking like Saddam Hussein opened a Cheesecake Factory— it’s just gold everywhere,” Obama said during a pit stop in Ohio.
