美国前总统[巴拉克·奥巴马]于周六在俄亥俄州为民主党助选时，对美国总统唐纳德·特朗普的白宫翻新工程进行了嘲讽，将这座标志性官邸比作由萨达姆·侯赛因经营的芝士蛋糕工厂。
奥巴马在克利夫兰的集会上发起此番抨击，为民主党州长候选人艾米·阿克顿和联邦参议院候选人谢罗德·布朗站台——正值中期选举仅剩10天之际，他批评了特朗普的施政重心。
“我的意思是，我不知道你们有没有注意到，但他似乎对家装非常上心，”奥巴马说道，“他该去HGTV（美国家居家居频道）当主持人了。”

奥巴马列举了特朗普的宴会厅项目、玫瑰园改造以及南草坪直升机坪建设，随后又将矛头指向总统对金色装饰的偏爱。
“他把白宫装得就像萨达姆·侯赛因开了一家芝士蛋糕工厂，”奥巴马调侃道。
不过，这些翻新工程确实包括白宫场地的几项功能性升级。

玫瑰园原有的中央草坪于2025年被石灰石铺砌取代，打造出可用于户外活动、演讲和接待的露台，周边则保留了传统玫瑰丛。
特朗普还于9月推出了升级后的花岗岩[白宫直升机坪]，上面刻有总统徽章。白宫官方照片显示，海军陆战队一号在9月21日的剪彩仪式期间，就是在这座新设施上起降的。
[该行政部门的宴会厅项目]旨在为大型官方活动提供永久、安全的空间，解决了白宫重大活动长期依赖临时帐篷的问题。[美国国家公园管理局的一份环境评估报告]指出，早在2000年白宫的一份规划文件中就已明确，需要扩大活动场地。
奥巴马对特朗普白宫改造的抨击，正值他位于芝加哥的总统中心因高耸的花岗岩包裹塔楼而受到批评，部分[批评者称其为]“奥巴马方尖碑”，同时该中心还面临建设成本失控和数年延迟等问题。
根据[福克斯新闻数字频道此前的报道]，奥巴马总统中心的预计造价已超过10亿美元，几乎是最初3.5亿美元预估的三倍。分包商声称被拖欠数百万美元工程款，而纳税人则要为与该中心建设预算无关的公共基础设施相关成本背负数亿美元的负担。
奥巴马的批评不仅针对总统官邸，还针对特朗普对伊朗冲突的处理，他指责这位前总统导致能源成本上升。
“最重要的是，他决定发动一场无人要求、无人投票支持的不必要战争，”奥巴马说道。
他还为自己任期内达成的核协议进行了辩护。

“伊朗之所以没有核武器，是因为我签署了一份协议，众所周知，这份协议阻止了他们获得核武器，”奥巴马声称。
特朗普于2018年让美国退出了这项2015年达成的协议，理由是协议对核活动的临时限制措施不足，且未能充分遏制伊朗的弹道导弹计划及其对地区激进恐怖组织的支持。
该协议为德黑兰提供了制裁豁免，以换取核活动限制和国际核查。美国退出前，核查人员报告伊朗遵守了部分条款，不过此后伊朗将铀浓缩范围扩大至超出协议规定的限值。
奥巴马还指责特朗普推行导致消费者成本上升的政策，在敦促俄亥俄州选民追究[共和党人]责任时，批评了移民执法行动。
阿克顿在州长竞选中对阵共和党人[维韦克·拉马斯瓦米]，而布朗则在挑战共和党籍参议员乔恩·赫斯特德。
前总统奥巴马在2008年和2012年均赢得了俄亥俄州，但该州在三次总统选举中都支持了特朗普。

Former President [Barack Obama] mocked President Donald Trump’s White House renovations Saturday, comparing the historic residence to a Cheesecake Factory run by Saddam Hussein while campaigning for Democrats in Ohio.
Obama delivered the jab during a Cleveland rally supporting Democrat gubernatorial candidate Amy Acton and Senate candidate Sherrod Brown, criticizing Trump’s priorities just 10 days before the midterm elections.
“I mean, I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but he seems very focused on home renovations,” Obama said. “He should be on HGTV.”

Obama rattled off Trump’s ballroom project, Rose Garden makeover and South Lawn helipad before taking aim at the president’s affinity for gold décor.
“He’s got the White House looking like Saddam Hussein opened a Cheesecake Factory,” Obama quipped.
The renovations, however, include several functional upgrades to the White House grounds.

The Rose Garden’s former central lawn was replaced with limestone paving in 2025, creating a patio for outdoor events, speeches and entertaining, while the traditional roses were retained around the perimeter.
Trump also unveiled an upgraded granite [White House helipad] featuring the presidential seal in September. Official White House photographs show Marine One landing on and departing from the new facility during a Sept. 21 ribbon-cutting ceremony.
The [administration’s ballroom project] is intended to provide permanent, secure space for large official events, addressing a longstanding reliance on temporary tents for major White House functions. [A National Park Service environmental assessment] notes that the need for expanded event space was identified in a White House planning document dating to 2000.
Obama’s swipe at Trump’s White House makeover comes as his own presidential center in Chicago has faced criticism over its imposing, granite-clad tower, which some [critics have dubbed] the ‘Obamalisk,’ along with ballooning construction costs and years of delays.
The Obama Presidential Center’s projected price tag has surpassed $1 billion, nearly triple its original $350 million estimate, according to [previous Fox News Digital reporting]. Subcontractors have alleged they are owed millions for their work, while taxpayers have been saddled with hundreds of millions of dollars in associated public infrastructure costs separate from the center’s construction budget.
Obama’s criticism extended beyond the presidential residence to Trump’s handling of the conflict with Iran, which the former president blamed for higher energy costs.
“Most importantly, he decided to start an unnecessary war that nobody asked for and nobody voted for,” Obama said.
He also defended the nuclear agreement negotiated during his presidency.

“Iran didn’t have nuclear weapons because I had put a deal in place that everybody knows kept them from getting nukes,” Obama claimed.
Trump withdrew the United States from the 2015 agreement in 2018, arguing that its temporary nuclear restrictions were insufficient and that it failed to adequately address Iran’s ballistic missile program and support for regional militant terror groups.
The agreement offered Tehran sanctions relief in exchange for nuclear restrictions and international inspections. Inspectors reported some Iranian compliance before the U.S. withdrawal, although Iran subsequently expanded uranium enrichment beyond the deal’s proposed limits.
Obama also accused Trump of pursuing policies that increased consumer costs, criticizing immigration enforcement as he urged Ohio voters to hold [Republicans] accountable.
Acton faces Republican [Vivek Ramaswamy] in the governor’s race, while Brown is challenging Republican Sen. Jon Husted.
The former president carried Ohio in both 2008 and 2012, but the state has backed Trump in his three presidential campaigns.
