Former US President Barack Obama compared the White House under Donald Trump to "a restaurant opened by Saddam Hussein". He stated this during a rally in support of the Democratic Party in Ohio, the Associated Press reports. Saddam Hussein is the fifth president of Iraq, he ruled the country from 1979 to 2003 until he was overthrown by a military invasion led by the United States. Three years after the fall of the regime, the politician was hanged by the decision of an Iraqi court for crimes against humanity. During the rally, Obama accused the current US president and his family of corruption. He also criticized Trump for the war with Iran and the rise in consumer prices in the United States. On November 3, mid-term elections for Congress will be held in the country. Americans will have to re-elect 35 out of 100 senators, completely renew the House of Representatives (all 435 seats), and elect governors of 36 states.
