Trump Defends White House Renovations After Obama's 'Cheesecake Factory' Critique New

Trump Defends White House Renovations After Obama's 'Cheesecake Factory' Critique

Updated 00:33 27 Oct 2026 GMTPublished 23:05 26 Oct 2026 GMTTrump insisted: ‘That just shows why you were a lousy president’US President Donald Trump fired back at former President Barack Obama’s ‘Cheesecake Factory’ jibe.Over the weekend Obama slammed Trump’s recent renovations of the White House, comparing it to a branch of The Cheesecake Factory ‘opened by Saddam Hussein’, suggesting the changes were over the top and tasteless, reports the New York Post.Trump told reporters at Joint Base Andrews: “For you to say it’s a Cheesecake Factory — that just shows why you were a lousy president.”He continued, “We have to explain that to Obama because he doesn’t understand it because he’s not a smart guy.AdvertObama started the most recent war of words on Saturday (Photo by Spencer Platt/Getty Images)“He’s not smart at all because of the way he ran the country. Only a stupid person would run the country like that.”Trump then took aim at Obama’s record of looking after the White House.“He doesn’t notice dirt and filth that hadn’t been cleaned, where the walls hadn’t been cleaned for years. He doesn’t notice areas that haven’t been painted,” Trump said.“Guys like Obama don’t see it. You don’t see dirt. He doesn’t see filth. He doesn’t see broken ornaments on a building.”Trump tore down the East Wing and is replacing it with a ballroom, enacted repairs and repainting of the columns of the North Portico, laid down paving over the Rose Garden and added gold wall fixtures to the Oval Office.“I’ve taken care of the White House. I fixed it with the finest artisans in the world,” he said.Trump tore down the East Wing of the White House (Photo by Brendan SMIALOWSKI / AFP via Getty Images)“We have to explain to Obama that the White House is a symbol of America, and it has to be maintained properly.”The White House X account then added its own comment, which included a dig at the restaurant’s huge menu, which includes 250 items.“Since we’re talking about The Cheesecake Factory … The only thing bigger than the menu is the list of President Trump’s accomplishments,” it wrote alongside a list of claimed ‘accomplishments’, including ‘more than one million private sector jobs’ and ‘no taxes on tips or overtime’.While it is far from the first time the pair have clashed, Obama started this present war of words on Saturday during a campaigning address to Democrats in Ohio.He said Trump ‘should be on HGTV’, a reference to the Home and Garden Television network and added: “He’s got the White House looking like Saddam Hussein opened a Cheesecake Factory.”On Monday Trump’s Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent reacted to Obama’s comments by having lunch at a Cheesecake Factory in Washington DC.He told reporters, “This is the man who built the museum who looks like Darth Vader’s tomb,” referring to the Obama Presidential Center museum and library Obama had built in Chicago’s South Side.Featured Image Credit: (Photo by Alex Wong/Getty Images)Topics: Donald Trump, Barack Obama, US News

Esteban Bolaño se salva de tragedia vial que dejó cuatro muertos en el grupo de Kbeto Zuleta

Esteban Bolaño se bajó del bus en El Carmen de Bolívar para regresar a Barranquilla en una camioneta junto a otros tres compañeros. Horas después, el vehículo cayó al río Ariguaní, dejando cuatro muertos y 17 heridos. El accidente de tránsito que sufrió la agrupación de Kbeto Zuleta en la madrugada del lunes 26 de octubre dejó una profunda tristeza en el mundo vallenato. Entre las personas que se pronunciaron tras la tragedia estuvo Esteban Bolaño, mánager del cantante e hijo de Poncho Zuleta, quien contó entre lágrimas cómo logró salvarse del siniestro. El representante no viajaba en el bus accidentado porque se había bajado en El Carmen de Bolívar para regresar a Barranquilla en su camioneta. Junto a él se fueron otros tres integrantes del equipo, mientras el resto de la agrupación continuó el recorrido hacia Valledupar. “Yo estoy bien. Para los que no saben, yo no iba en el bus porque yo me bajé en El Carmen de Bolívar. Yo me fui en camioneta hasta El Carmen para poder regresarme hacia Barranquilla y no llegar hasta Valledupar”, explicó Bolaño en un mensaje difundido tras lo ocurrido. Lea: Kbeto Zuleta: quién es y la carrera del hijo de Poncho que sufrió un accidente La decisión, tomada como parte de la logística del viaje, terminó evitando que los cuatro estuvieran a bordo cuando ocurrió el accidente. Aunque salió ileso, Bolaño no ocultó el dolor que le produjo conocer la magnitud de la emergencia. En sus declaraciones, confirmó la muerte de dos integrantes de la agrupación y expresó su preocupación por quienes permanecían hospitalizados. “Qué tragedia tan horrible nos sucedió a nuestro grupo musical. Un dolor, el fallecimiento de esos integrantes de la familia”, manifestó, visiblemente afectado. El mánager también pidió fortaleza para afrontar la pérdida y expresó su deseo de que los heridos pudieran recuperarse. Mientras se dirigía hacia Bosconia para acompañar a sus compañeros, explicó que había recibido información sobre el estado de salud de Kbeto Zuleta y del acordeonero Efraín Zuleta, quienes estaban conscientes, aunque lesionados. “Pidiéndole a Dios que tenga misericordia de los que venían heridos”, agregó. El siniestro se registró en el corredor vial entre El Difícil, Magdalena, y Bosconia, Cesar, cuando el bus que transportaba a los integrantes de la agrupación cayó al río Ariguaní tras impactar contra la estructura de protección de un puente. Los músicos regresaban de una presentación en Sincelejo, Sucre, cuando ocurrió la emergencia. Según el balance reportado durante esa jornada, cuatro personas murieron y otras 17 resultaron heridas. Entre las víctimas mortales identificadas se encuentran Geovanny Lobo, corista de la agrupación, y Harold Santana, guitarrista. Las autoridades continuaban investigando las causas del accidente, por lo que las versiones iniciales sobre un posible microsueño del conductor no debían considerarse una conclusión oficial. La tragedia también generó preocupación por el estado de salud de Kbeto Zuleta, quien sufrió lesiones graves y recibió atención médica especializada. Noticias Caracol informó, citando fuentes médicas, que fue necesaria la amputación de una de sus piernas. Lea: Kbeto Zuleta perdió una pierna y permanece en UCI tras el accidente de su agrupación Mientras avanzaban las labores de atención a los sobrevivientes, el testimonio de Esteban Bolaño dejó en evidencia el impacto de la tragedia para quienes integran el equipo musical. El mánager se salvó junto a otros tres compañeros al separarse del grupo en El Carmen de Bolívar, pero tuvo que afrontar la noticia de la muerte de personas con las que compartía su vida laboral y cotidiana.

Lamine Yamal, futbolista del Barcelona y de la selección española, conquistó este lunes su tercer premio Kopa. El ganador de la Liga Española con el Barcelona y del Mundial con España ganó por tercer año consecutivo el galardón que premia al mejor sub-21 del mundo. Lea: Junior vive momentos de tensión: Nueva ausencia de Teófilo Gutiérrez genera debate Lamine, que apareció en el London Palladium acompañado de su pareja y de varios de sus familiares, recibió el premio de manos de la leyenda ucraniana Andriy Shevchenko. “Es un honor estar aquí y recibir este premio. Me hubiera gustado que aquí estuviese Cubarsí. Se lo merece también, Ojalá se lo hubiera llevado él. Es el tercer año que he ganado este premio y es un honor. Estoy muy agradecido a mi club y a la selección y tengo que seguir trabajando para ganar más premios como este”, dijo Lamine al recoger el premio. Preguntado por Thierry Henry, uno de los presentadores del evento, sobre si este es el premio que esperaba ganar este año, en referencia al Balón de Oro. “Yo quiero todos, pero este quería que fuera para Cubarsí”. La española Alexia Putellas, jugadora del London City Lionesses, conquistó este lunes su tercer Balón de Oro. La atacante, ex del Barcelona, añadió a su palmarés su tercer entorchado después de los que consiguió en 2021 y 2022, y rompe el dominio de Aitana Bonmatí, que se había llevado los tres anteriores. Por otro lado, la futbolista del Barcelona y de la selección española Vicky López se hizo por segundo año consecutivo con el trofeo Kopa, que premia a la mejor jugadora sub-21 del mundo. La madrileña, autora de nueve tantos la temporada pasada, ganó el triplete con el Barcelona, con la Liga Española, la Copa de la Reina y la Liga de Campeones, además de la Supercopa española. El seleccionador español Luis de la Fuente se hizo este lunes con el trofeo Johan Cruyff al mejor entrenador de la temporada pasada.

El Paris Saint Germain se proclamó el mejor equipo del mundo en la temporada 2025-2026 en la gala del Balón de Oro. Es su segundo consecutivo. El delantero del Bayern de Múnich y de la selección inglesa, Harry Kane, ganó este lunes su segundo trofeo Gerd Müller, el primero en solitario, tras la impresionante campaña 2025-2026 que completó.

United Airlines Flight Returns to Las Vegas After Hijack Threat Text New

United Airlines Flight Returns to Las Vegas After Hijack Threat Text

Published 20:02 26 Oct 2026 GMTThe passenger was later arrestedA United Airlines flight from Las Vegas to Newark was diverted after a flight attendant allegedly saw a text on a passenger's phone claiming they were going to hijack the aircraft. According to audio obtained by CBS News, a member of United Airlines Flight 1681's cabin crew had seen a message on a passenger's mobile phone that suggested they were planning to take over the aircraft by force. The flight attendant did not engage with the passenger in question but instead informed the captain, who put the flight into lockdown while it returned to Las Vegas. "The flight attendant saw him texting that he was going to hijack the aircraft," one of Flight 1681's pilots can be heard saying in audio shared via the news outlet. "We went into lockdown and returned to Vegas."AdvertThe aircraft was forced to turn back to Harry Reid International Airport (Kevin Carter/Getty Images)Flight data shows that the plane was airborne for just over an hour before it landed back at Harry Reid International Airport on 24 October. Passengers were later flown out to Newark the following day. Further audio obtained via ATC.com revealed that the passenger was 'unaware' that the plane was heading back to Las Vegas. PEOPLE later reported that a 25-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of making threats or conveying false information concerning acts of terrorism. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is said to be investigating the incident after receiving reports of a 'passenger disturbance'. While it is currently unclear whether or not the threat was real or a hoax, it is illegal to make false claims about attempts to 'destroy, damage, or disable' an aircraft. According to the US Department of Justice, the maximum penalty for declarations which are deemed 'malicious or with reckless disregard for the safety of human life' is five years in prison or a $5000 fine. Let this be a reminder that joking about terrorism onboard a plane is not a good idea (Getty Stock Images)This also applies to terrorism-related jokes made inside the airport, as a US man was previously detained at an airport in Florida after reportedly joking that security 'had missed a bomb in his bag'. Meanwhile, a 59-year-old man in India was arrested in 2023 after allegedly calling in a fake bomb threat in order to delay a flight which he was late for. Let this be a reminder that it's not worth making jokes related to terrorism, hijackings or bomb threats while at the airport.Featured Image Credit: Kevin Carter/Getty ImagesTopics: US News, Travel, Plane Etiquette

Garza chirurgica dimenticata per 46 anni scoperta durante TAC addominale New

Garza chirurgica dimenticata per 46 anni scoperta durante TAC addominale

Si stava sottoponendo a una TAC per un tumore dell’intestino quando i medici hanno notato una massa di 4 centimetri che sembrava un vecchio fibroma. Era in corrispondenza della parte superiore dell’utero e non presentava segnali di vascolarizzazione interna, facendo pensare a una formazione ormai priva di apporto sanguigno, nota come leiomioma uterino degenerato. Si trattava però di qualcosa di molto diverso, dimenticato nell’addome per 46 anni. La vicenda, ricostruita in un articolo pubblicato sul Journal of Surgical Case Reports, ha per protagonista una donna giapponese di 74 anni che stava effettuando l’esame per mappare l’estensione del tumore intestinale. Poiché era già previsto l’intervento chirurgico, i medici hanno programmato di asportare anche il presunto fibroma nello stesso intervento. Tuttavia, durante l’operazione, la massa è stata trovata saldamente incastrata tra l’intestino cieco e l’utero e, solo una volta rimossa, è stato possibile osservare che al suo interno, racchiuso in un rivestimento calcificato, si trovava un nucleo compatto di materiale filamentoso. Erano le fibre di una garza chirurgica, molto probabilmente riconducibile a un cesareo avuto quando aveva 28 anni. La garza chirurgica dimenticata dopo il cesareo La scoperta di un corpo estraneo dimenticato in un intervento chirurgico non è un evento raro. È invece molto più raro che quel corpo estraneo rimanga per decenni silente, come nel caso di questa donna. In particolare, in un’analisi che ha preso in esame 4.547 corpi estranei ritenuti accidentalmente, citata nel case report, è emerso circa il 78% viene diagnosticato entro il primo anno dall’intervento chirurgico e solo l’8% più di cinque anni dopo. In particolare, una revisione della letteratura del 2023 ha rilevato un intervallo medio per la diagnosi di soli 3,7 anni dopo un parto cesareo, con un periodo massimo documentato di 29 anni. “A nostra conoscenza, l’intervallo di 46 anni supera la latenza più lunga precedentemente riportata specificamente dopo un taglio cesareo, che era di 29 anni” spiegano i medici Kenji Yorita, Jun Iwabu e Kimiko Nakatani del Red Cross Hospital di Kochi, dove la signora è stata operata. I 46 anni trascorsi superano anche il periodo di tempo più lungo mai documentato per altri corpi estranei dimenticati, la cui scoperta è avvenuta al massimo dopo circa 40 anni. “Questo caso potrebbe rappresentare l’intervallo più lungo riportato in letteratura tra l’intervento chirurgico scatenante e la scoperta di una garza chirurgica ritenuta” ha concluso il team.

Epidemia de HIV din Rusia atinge stadiul generalizat în 27 de regiuni, afectând masiv populația New

Epidemia de HIV din Rusia atinge stadiul generalizat în 27 de regiuni, afectând masiv populația

În 27 de regiuni din Rusia, epidemia de HIV a intrat în stadiul generalizat, a declarat academicianul Vasili Akimkin, directorul Institutului Central de Cercetări Epidemiologice al Rospotrebnadzor.Acest lucru înseamnă că virusul nu mai amenință doar grupurile de risc, ci se răspândește în rândul unor segmente largi ale populației. Potrivit declarațiilor lui Akimkin, citate de Nezavisimaya Gazeta, în aceste regiuni HIV este diagnosticat la peste 1% dintre femeile însărcinate. Printre regiunile cele mai afectate se numără regiunile Kemerovo, Irkutsk și Sverdlovsk, unde peste 2% dintre locuitori sunt infectați.Printre bărbații ruși cu vârste cuprinse între 40 și 50 de ani, peste 3% sunt infectați cu virusul imunodeficienței, a declarat Natalia Ladnaya, cercetător principal în cadrul departamentului de prevenire și combatere a SIDA al Institutului Central de Cercetări Epidemiologice al Rospotrebnadzor. Conform datelor sale, vârsta medie a persoanelor infectate a crescut în ultimii 15 ani de la 32 la 44 de ani, iar aproximativ două treimi din noile cazuri de transmitere a HIV sunt atribuite contactelor heterosexuale. Una dintre principalele probleme rămâne acoperirea insuficientă cu tratament.Ladnaya a subliniat că doar jumătate dintre persoanele care trăiesc cu HIV în Rusia au încărcătura virală suprimată. Aceasta înseamnă că cel puțin 600.000 de persoane continuă să contribuie activ la transmiterea virusului HIV. În rândul pacienților care urmează terapia antiretrovirală, încărcătura virală este suprimată la aproximativ 77–78%, în timp ce OMS vizează un indicator de 95%, a adăugat Ladnaya.În același timp, în 2025 s-a înregistrat cel mai mare număr de infecții transmise prin sânge în unitățile medicale în timpul acordării asistenței medicale din ultimii 15 ani. În principal, a fost vorba despre HIV și hepatita C, a declarat Elena Igonina, șefa Direcției pentru Sănătate Epidemiologică a Populației din cadrul Rospotrebnadzor. În prezent, se desfășoară ancheta privind 11 focare de astfel de infecții în zece regiuni. În plus, în 2026, pentru prima dată în ultimii șase ani, au fost identificate două cazuri de infectare cu HIV în urma transfuziei de componente sanguine. Ca principală cauză a infecțiilor sunt menționate încălcările regimului sanitar-epidemiologic, inclusiv utilizarea cateterelor și a glucometrelor individuale pentru mai mulți pacienți.Conform datelor Rospotrebnadzor, în ultimii ani, în Rusia mor anual 30–34 de mii de persoane din cauza HIV, ceea ce reprezintă un indicator extrem de ridicat. La fiecare deces se înregistrează 1,5 cazuri noi de infectare. Proiectul bugetului federal pentru anul 2027 prevede asigurarea suplimentară de medicamente pentru 30.000 de pacienți cu HIV, deși anual sunt depistați mai mulți bolnavi. Astfel, în 2025 au fost 45.000, iar în 2024 — aproximativ 52.000. Editor : A.R.
