Trump responds to Obama's criticism of White House renovations
Former President Barack Obama, campaigning in Michigan, mocked Trump's White House renovations, saying the building looks like "Saddam Hussein opened a Cheesecake Factory." President Trump, at a campaign stop in Mississippi, said Obama "wouldn't understand" the renovations and called the spending "peanuts." Both are campaigning in battleground states ahead of Election Day.
