Obama’s Got Jokes
During a rally in Atlanta on Wednesday, former President Obama doubled down on his earlier jab that Trump’s gold White House décor looks “like Saddam Hussein opened a Cheesecake Factory” and blasted Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent for showing up at a Cheesecake Factory earlier this week.
“Multimillionaire hedge fund manager Scott Bessent really thinks we’re buying the bull [expletive] that he’s an Everyman,” Seth Meyers said on Thursday’s “Late Night.”
“After Barack Obama dissed Trump’s White House by saying it looked like Saddam Hussein opened a Cheesecake Factory, Bessent took issue with the comparison to a violent, repressive dictator. Oh, I’m sorry, he took issue with the comparison to Cheesecake Factory and decided to go to one himself.” — SETH MEYERS
“It’s lame enough that you went there for this stupid stunt, but don’t pretend you’re there all the time. You’re not the Norm of the Cheesecake Factory. When you walked in, nobody yelled, ‘Scott!’ They probably said, ‘Oh, [expletive], that looks like the landlord.’” — SETH MEYERS
“The G.O.P. is still struggling to find a campaign message beyond ‘Check out the dump truck on this guy.’” — JORDAN KLEPPER
“It somehow hasn’t resonated with voters. Sorry, our nation’s more of a boob guy. What can I say?” — JORDAN KLEPPER
