President Donald Trump campaigned in South Carolina on Thursday, rallying support for Republican Senator Darline Graham in a tight race against Democrat Annie Andrews. The visit followed renewed public exchanges with former President Barack Obama, who mocked Trump's White House renovations by comparing them to 'Saddam Hussein opened a Cheesecake Factory' during a rally in Ohio. Trump dismissed the remark, defending the renovations as necessary and accusing Obama of not understanding the dignity of the presidency.
Financial disclosures show Trump bought and sold stock in the Cheesecake Factory over the past year, with holdings valued between $15,001 and $50,000 as of December 31, 2025. Trump has promoted the restaurant publicly, while allies defended it as a symbol of middle-class values. The White House says his investments are managed independently and free of conflicts of interest.
