‘Jawlines and testosterone’: Obama takes a dig at Hegseth amid Iran conflict
Former US President Barack Obama took a dig at Donald Trump over his renovation plans for the White House, saying Trump has “got the White House looking like former Iraq President Saddam Hussein opened a Cheesecake Factory”. Obama said. Obama made the remarks while campaigning for the midterm elections in Ohio. He mocked Trump’s changes to the White House, saying the president appeared more interested in renovations than other matters. “I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but he seems very focused on home renovations. He should be on HGTV. The guy’s building a ballroom that’s bigger than the White House. Paved over the Rose Garden, put a helicopter pad on the South Lawn, and there’s gold everywhere! What’s up with the gold? Everything—more gold!
The elections determine control of Congress, with all 435 seats in the House of Representatives and roughly one-third of the Senate seats up for election. US midterm elections take place every four years, halfway through a president’s four-year term. They are seen as an important test of public opinion on the president and the ruling party. The results can influence the president’s ability to pass laws and implement policies.
Meanwhile, you’ve got the defense secretary who’s squarely focused on important matters like the jawlines and testosterone levels of our troops,” he said. “Ohio, let’s do what we can to elect Amy Acton as your next Governor and Sherrod Brown as your next US Senator! They’ve dedicated their lives to fighting on behalf of all Ohioans,” Obama wrote. “Hundreds of Americans have been wounded. We have run down our stock of missiles, and Iran now has veto power over the Strait of Hormuz.
