US President Donald Trump has launched a scathing rant against former President Barack Obama’s presidential library.
Trump said the library was a “disaster”; being built by “woke”; construction workers, adding that it is bad dir the presidency.
The 78-year-old Republican spoke on Tuesday during an Oval Office meeting with new Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney.
While the two leaders discussed tariffs and the relationship between the US and Canada in front of reporters, Trump veered into criticizing Obama’s library, which is being built in Chicago’s Jackson Park.
“He [Obama] is building his library in Chicago. It’s a disaster,”; Trump, who built his career in real estate, said.
“And he said something to the effect, ‘I only want DEI, I only want woke.’ He wants woke people to build it.
“Well, he got woke people, and they have massive cost overruns. The job is stopped. I don’t know, it’s a disaster.”;
“If he wanted help, I’d give him help because I’m a really good builder and I build on time, on budget,”; Trump added.
“He wanted to be very politically correct, and he didn’t use good, hard, tough, mean construction workers that I love.”;
