Obama compares Trump's White House renovations to 'Saddam Hussein opening a Cheesecake Factory' at Ohio rally
Barack Obama compared Trump's White House renovations to a Cheesecake Factory run by Saddam Hussein at a Cleveland rally for Ohio Democrats.
The Hill
What the coverage shows
The coverage does not really cluster around the same framing: The Independent is the only outlet directly about Bill Clinton’s criticism of Trump’s White House renovations, with the extract focusing on the Rose Garden and Mar-a-Lago-style umbrellas. Fox News instead highlights Obama mocking the renovations at an Ohio rally, while Newsweek does not cover the renovations at all and is about Trump’s post-dinner remarks on Bill Maher.
