‘Really Good Builder’ Trump Tees Off On Obama’s Library In Bizarre Rant | EUROtoday

President Donald Trump took trip from his disagreement with Canada to launch right into a weird rant on the development of former President Barack Obama’s presidential middle.

While assembly Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney on the Oval Office on Tuesday, the president sailed off beam after a reporter requested how lengthy it will take for his administration’s investments to be mirrored within the financial knowledge.

Trump replied by criticizing variety, fairness and inclusion (DEI) initiatives, claiming with out proof that they’ve held up publicly funded initiatives.

Then the onetime New York actual property investor seized on Obama’s unfinished library and museum, which is being constructed within the coronary heart of a South Side neighborhood in Chicago.

“President Obama… if he wanted help, I’d give him help, because I’m a really good builder, and I build on time, on budget,” Trump boasted. “He’s building his library in Chicago. It’s a disaster.”

“And he said something to the effect, ‘I only want DEI. I only want woke,’” he claimed of his predecessor. “He wants woke people to build it. Well, he got woke people.”

The bold 19-acre venture was initially set to price $350 million, however the associated fee has ballooned to $830 million. A scheduled 2021 opening has been delayed till spring 2026.

The Obama Foundation has stated that about 35% of subcontractors for the development venture could be minority-owned companies, however there’s nothing to counsel that the inclusion efforts have had something to do with the associated fee overruns.

Claiming Obama “wanted to be very politically correct,” Trump then painted an image of the type of crew he would have placed on the job.

“He didn’t use good, hard, tough, mean construction workers that I love,” he stated, including: “I love those construction workers, but he didn’t want construction workers. He wanted people that, like, never did it before.”

On social media, few had been taking the president’s insights critically.

“Can confirm that the people working on Obama’s presidential center keep doing land acknowledgments and screaming their pronouns so no work is getting done,” joked former Obama staffer and podcaster Tommy Vietor.

“Everyone who sees the Obama Presidential Center is blown away by its beauty, scale and the way it will be an economic engine for Chicago and a beacon of hope for the world,” Obama Foundation spokesperson Emily Bittner stated in an announcement, per USA Today.

“We look forward to welcoming all visitors to the 19.3-acre campus next spring, to experience a presidential center that not only honors the Obamas’ legacy but also lifts up the next generation of leaders.”
