Clinton compares Trump's White House renovations to Saddam's palaces

Clinton compares Trump's White House renovations to Saddam's palaces

Hillary Clinton used to be one of the most important leaders in the United States.

She was on a podcast where people talk about the news.

She said the White House, where the president lives, now has too much gold on the walls.

She said it looks like the fancy palaces owned by Saddam Hussein, a leader from Iraq who was known for being very rich and powerful.

Clinton said the gold makes her feel sad because she thinks it is not very nice to look at.

She thinks President Donald Trump cares more about making the White House shiny than about helping the country with big problems.

The White House workers did not agree with her.

A spokesperson said Clinton is upset because Trump beat her in an election many years ago.

Some people think the president can fix up the White House however he wants.

Other people think the White House belongs to all Americans and should be treated with care.
