President Donald Trump used characteristically frank language to describe former President Barack Obama\u2019s unsightly presidential library and museum that is currently under construction in a Chicago suburb.<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Trump was asked about the library in the Oval Office on Monday. \u201cHe needs help\u2026it\u2019s not too pretty,\u201d Trump said to laughter.<\/p>\n

The president went on to say that Obama insisted on \u201chiring women and DEI\u201d \u2013 diversity, equity, and inclusion candidates \u2013 to build the structure, which has been beset with a series of delays and massive cost overruns.<\/p>\n

He also pointed out that he built \u201ca building\u201d in Chicago \u2013 the Trump International Hotel & Tower \u2013 claiming that it went up ahead of schedule and on budget. Trump also praised the \u201cChicago construction workers\u201d who he contracted with to build the structure, calling them among the best in the country.<\/p>\n

Monday\u2019s criticisms were not the first from Trump regarding the Obama library. In May, he described the project as \u201ca disaster\u201d being undertaken by \u201cwoke\u201d construction workers.<\/p>\n

\u201cI mean, look, President Obama \u2014 and if he wanted help, I\u2019d give him help because I build on time and on budget \u2014 he\u2019s building his presidential library in Chicago. It\u2019s a disaster,\u201d Trump said at the time, per CBS News.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd he said something to the effect, \u2018I only want DEI, I only want woke.\u2019 He wants woke people to build it. Well, he got woke people, and they have massive cost overruns; the job is stopped. I don\u2019t know, it\u2019s a disaster,\u201d\u00a0he added<\/a>.<\/p>\n

He also said the center is \u201cmillions of dollars, like many, many \u2014 I mean, really, millions of dollars over budget,\u201d and said the problems were because Obama \u201cwanted to be very politically correct and he didn\u2019t use good, hard, tough, mean construction workers that I love.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHe wanted people that, like, never did it before, and he\u2019s got a disaster on his hands,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
