Obama Foundation invites Trump to visit presidential library after he calls it a 'disaster' and compares to trash can [View all]

Source: Independent

President Donald Trump has derided the Obama Presidential Library as over budget, called its construction a “disaster” and compared it to a trash can. Now, the former president’s foundation is extending an invitation to arguably its most vocal critic.

Obama Foundation CEO Valerie Jarrett, who served as a senior adviser in the Obama administration, told USA Today June 3 that the center would welcome Trump to view the center for himself.

“Judge for yourself,” Jarett said during a preview of the center last week. “When our visitors come, they will see a spectacular campus… If [Trump] would like to come and visit it himself, we would welcome him and give him a tour.”

The Independent has asked the White House for comment.
