Donald J. Trump just can’t help himself.
Former President Barack Obama recently mocked Trump’s obsession with renovating the White House, joking that the gold-plated decor made it look like Saddam Hussein had opened a Cheesecake Factory. He also suggested Trump should take his home-improvement fixation to HGTV.
“He’s got the White House looking like Saddam Hussein opened a Cheesecake Factory!” Obama said. “Just gold everywhere. So, he’s clearly not focused on lowering prices for you.”

“Remember, Obama’s original criticism was that you are obsessed with home renovations, and you don’t want to fall into his trap,” Klepper said before playing footage of Trump rambling about his obsession.
