President Trump slammed Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama in response to their attacks on his White House renovations while signing a proclamation to preserve the Oval Office on Thursday.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, Trump signed a proclamation on Thursday, designating the Oval Office and Cabinet Room as federal landmarks and National Monuments.
Hillary Clinton has attacked Trump’s renovations to the White House in the past.
“It’s sad to me — it’s sad that it’s so tackied up, and it’s a reflection of, you know, his narcissistic personality and his need to feel important, including sticking gold embellishments all over the walls of the Oval Office,” the former First Lady and failed presidential candidate said recently, adding that his style is “reminiscent” of Iraqi President Saddam Hussein’s palaces.
“This is a man who, his mind apparently goes to, ‘Where can I add more gold?’ instead of, ‘How do I get out of Iran without looking like the loser that I am?’”
Likewise, Barack Obama used the same line, saying, “What’s up with the gold? Everything, more gold! He’s got the White House looking like Saddam Hussein opened up a Cheesecake Factory. It’s gold everywhere!”
Trump has slammed the classless former president, saying he didn’t notice the decay of the White House.
“He doesn’t understand it because he’s not a smart guy. Let me tell you, in my opinion, he’s not smart at all because the way he ran the country, only a stupid person would run the country like that,” Trump said of Obama after his attacks on the White House renovations.
Then on Thursday, he responded to Clinton’s attacks.
“She did?” Trump said when notified of her criticisms. “I don’t like her house either. I know her house very well.”
“Look, the Oval Office is a place of victory; it’s a place of prestige like the White House,” he continued. “See that beautiful white wall? There’s no gold on that. But I fixed all of the monuments. I fixed all of the borders. You have borders, and you have broken windows. We had broken windows or cracks in many windows. You’d look up, you’d see a crack in a window. This is representative of our nation, I think.”
“The building was beat up, and it was a shame. And I fixed it, and I do it very easily. I didn’t devote time to it, a lot of time. I had very talented people that were able to do it, I paid for it, and we fixed up the exterior of the White House. There’s no gold, but there’s no cracks, there’s no broken stone; they have beautiful ornamentation on it, original from 1792 when it was built, but much of it was broken— It was either broken or gone, and in many cases you’d have it on one side of a window, and on the other side there was nothing there because it had fallen,” he said.
“I view the White House as a very important symbol of our country, and we can’t have broken windows, we can’t have broken stone. I mean, they’d have a big hole in the stone, a gaping hole this deep, and instead of fixing it beautifully that you can’t even see it, they’d just paint it. People would look up and say, ‘This is the White House.’ It’s so inappropriate.”
Trump further mused about the ongoing construction of a White House Ballroom, which he said will be “the best in the entire world,” comparing it to the Great Hall of China.
“When you look at that White House, you know, I hear Obama, but he doesn’t— Obama doesn’t know about dirt and filth, and he doesn’t know about cracked stone, and he doesn’t know about broken windows. He’s probably fine with them, but I’m not. I’m not fine with it,” he added.
