Former President Barack Obama criticized President Trump’s ongoing White House renovations, saying that it looks “like Saddam Hussein opened a Cheesecake Factory” as he returned to the campaign trail in Cleveland, Ohio on Saturday to back the state’s Democratic candidates ahead of November’s midterm election.
“He should be on HGTV,” Obama said. “Guy’s building a ballroom that’s bigger than the White House.”
The ballroom construction project was announced officially in July 2025, and is expected to be finished before the end of Trump’s second term.

My books on early Texas medical history, there aren’t many but they were very important for my newest book on how epidemics changed Texas history with @mitpress the dark green and red written by Dr. Pat Ireland Nixon, an early 20th century Texan who studied medicine @JohnsHopkins @HopkinsMedicine but who practiced in San Antonio, another is an enigmatic figure who wrote the small dark blue book and identifies herself as Mrs. S.C. Red. Even other historians of the period called her “Mrs. Red,” with great respect. She detailed the physicians at the Alamo and San Jacinto, In my book I write about both of them

Here is the President of the United States lying about being at Ground Zero.
It doesn’t get more despicable than this.
Trump claims he was basically lifted out of the rubble on 9/11: "Two fireman, big strong guys, they grabbed me under the arms -- 'got to get our of here!' -- and they literally lifted me up, and they started running with me."
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Trump was miles from Ground Zero on 9/11, speaking by phone from his office. He visited the area days later. His story of being lifted from the rubble by firefighters first appeared in 2021 and lacks corroborating evidence. politifact.com/factchecks/202… usatoday.com/story/news/fac… newsweek.com/fact-check-did…
