President Trump mocks the Barack Obama presidential library

play

Donald Trump and Barack Obama continue to throw each other, this time when the president takes the unfinished and long -awaited library and the museum of his predecessor about the unfinished and long -awaited library of his predecessor.

During the Oval Office meeting with the Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney on May 6, Trump, a long -time New York real estate mogul, discussed the construction difficulties and made a detour with his reported problems with the project.

“President Obama – and if he wanted help, I would give him help because I am a really good builder and build his library in Chicago in the time, in the budget, and it’s a disaster,” said Trump.

The Obama Presidential Center is an ambitious 19 hectare project, which is built as a tribute to the former president in the heart of a quarter on the south side. According to the former presidential foundation, the construction is “almost significant completion”, but was besieged by considerable delays and has gone far beyond the budget.

The initial costs of 350 million US dollars have risen to 830 million US dollars. The center was originally supposed to open in 2021, but last year the officials announced that it would not be open to the public until 2026.

However, fans say that the privately financed center aims to revive a historic public park in Chicagos South Side with various community partners, and predicts that we generate $ 3 billion in economic activity.

The plans for the facility include the construction of a forum for local and international meetings, a sports center for the community, a hiking trail, a large lawn, a toboggan hill and a playground. It will probably be a catalyst for economic development.

“Anyone who sees the Obama Presidential Center is of their beauty, their scale and its way, how it will be an economic engine for Chicago and a Hope of Hope for the World,” said Emily Bittner, spokeswoman for the Obama Foundation, in a statement to USA. “We look forward to welcoming all visitors to the 19.3 hectare campus next spring to experience a presidential center that not only honors the legacy of the Obamas, but also increases the next generation of managers.”

Trump’s criticism continued during the Oval Office meeting. He argued that the sufferings of the Obama library were due to the hiring of local and minority owners. The Obama Foundation explained that about 35% of subcontractors were minority ownership, 15% in women’s ownership and 9% from the Greater Chicago region.

“And (Obama) said something to the effect of ‘I just want to. I just want to woke up.’ He wants people to be woken up to build it, ”said Trump. “Well, he woke people.”

The project achieved a reputation act at the beginning of this year after a subcontractor company submitted a lawsuit against another contractor. However, the foundation is not a party of this dispute, and the officials said that it would have no influence on the opening time bar of the center, since it was submitted after the work was completed.

Obama criticized Trump 2.0 to

The two men were warm at the funeral of former President Jimmy Carter at the beginning of this year and even shared a laugh, but Obama did not stop his disapproval of Trump’s use of the executive authority in his second term.

In April, for example, Obama encouraged universities and law firms to resist the government’s actions and to consider themselves democratic values. He beat the Trump administration for the cancellation of federal contracts to companies to companies that were connected to political rivals and laid to block hundreds of millions for universities and universities that refused to ban the use of masks and, for example, to eliminate diversity programs.

“This type of behavior contradicts the basic compact that we have as Americans,” he said, and challenged the audience at Hamilton College in New York: “Imagine I would have done this.”

Obama also affected Trump because he said goodbye to the Associated Press in front of official events for retaliation for the refusal of the news agency, Trump’s renaming the Golf of Mexico, the Golf America.

“Imagine I had drawn Fox News’ registration information from the White House Press Corps,” said Obama in April. “You laugh, but that happens.”

Recently, Trump, who presented the wrong claim that Obama was not born a decade ago, was not born in the United States, Obama something free. During the 2024 presidential campaign, for example, he described Obama as a “nice gentleman” that he “liked and respect”.

When Trump entertained the unconstitutional idea of ​​looking for a third term, he gave the idea of ​​running against Obama.

“I would love that, boy, I would love that,” he said.
