"ARTS AND CRAFTS WHILE WE FIGHT A WAR!” Obama Mocks Trump’s Golden Oval Office Makeover

This is true. This is a fact. I'm not making this up. He, the president of the United States, is spending time super gluing gold medallions to the mantle in the Oval Office. I am not making this up. He is literally doing arts and crafts while we are fighting a war and trying to deal with out-of-control prices. Now, look, I heard the president was not happy when I joked over the weekend that he's got the White House looking like Saddam Hussein opened a cheesecake factory. And listen, first of all, let me get this on the record. I am the father of two daughters. Do you think I could have survived their childhood without going to the Cheesecake Factory? I live at Chuck E. Cheese and California Pizza Kitchen and the Cheesecake Factory. That was my jam for about a decade. Of course, the real problem is prices have gotten so high, a lot of folks can barely afford to go out to eat. You would think that this administration would be spending time worrying about that. That was the interesting thing about how the administration responded to the speech I gave the other day. They did not dispute what I said about them being directly responsible for rising prices. They did not argue with that. They did not deny tariffs were contributing to higher costs for families. They didn't say anything about that. I accused this administration based on the facts that they were engaging in unprecedented levels of corruption. They didn't say anything about that. The president wasn't even mad about the Saddam Hussein comparison. That part didn't bother him. But he was very upset about the Cheesecake Factory comments. He took great umbrage. He said, I didn't understand the work of the artisans in the White House. And they mobilized, this was, I mean, it's all crazy, but this was the really crazy part. They mobilized a whole of government response to that joke. Not to inflation, but to that joke. The White House even called the Secretary of the Treasury. This is the man who is in charge of the economy. The person who's supposed to be figuring out how to make your life more affordable. The guy who's supposed to be figuring out how to lower inflation and reduce interest rates. They told him he should hold a press conference in front of the Cheesecake Factory. No, y'all didn't see this. This really happened. And the Treasury Secretary, he happens to be a former hedge fund manager worth half a billion dollars. And he was out there in front of the Cheesecake Factory explaining how he ordered the delicious French dip cheeseburger. instead of the egg rolls. Look, this is not something I ever thought of. I inherited this major financial crisis. I never called my Treasury Secretary, Tim Geithner, said, man, you got to go to Arby's, order roast beef, no cheese though, that may look elitist. To everybody out there, including the press, I want you to understand that this is what I mean when I say these are not serious people. They don't have solutions to actual problems. So they'd rather have the media and you talking about the Cheesecake Factory. That's the game they've been playing for the last two years. Just keep throwing distractions out there. Attacks, fabrications, phony outrage, and hope that you won't notice that your bills are higher and your life is tougher. Except that okie doke will not work this time.
