Donald Trump has hit back at Barack Obama’s White House criticism, claiming his predecessor left the building needing repairs.
The US president defended his renovation work at a Michigan rally on Monday night, RadarOnline reports.
Barack criticised the gold decorations during a campaign appearance for Democrats in Ohio on Saturday. He joked that the White House was “looking like Saddam Hussein opened a Cheesecake Factory”.
He also mocked a ballroom project and changes to the Rose Garden. A helicopter pad on the South Lawn was another target of his criticism.
Barack also suggested Trump’s enthusiasm for building projects belonged on HGTV.

Donald Trump attacks Barack Obama over White House criticism
Trump had already taken aim at Barack before Monday night’s rally. Speaking to reporters at Joint Base Andrews, he questioned the former president’s intelligence and record in office.
“Only a stupid person would run the country like that,” he said, criticising Barack’s record in office.
He alleged that Barack had failed to notice dirt, walls needing cleaning and damaged ornaments at the White House. Trump claimed some walls had not been cleaned for years.
