Obama Delivers Brutal Roast Of Trump’s Response To ‘Cheesecake Factory’ Comment

The Story
The Clay Travis Show/XFox News’ resident sports commentator Clay Travis has been busted for exaggerating the time he spent at The Cheesecake Factory.
Travis, 47, joined the conservative pile-on about former President Barack Obama’s comments that Donald Trump had made the White House look “like Saddam Hussein opened up a Cheesecake Factory.” Conservatives have interpreted those comments as Obama making a dig at working-class Americans, since The Cheesecake Factory is apparently the cream of the crop for a “high-end” meal out for most Americans.
