Lara Trump used the opening day of the Barack Obama Presidential Centre to mount a pointed attack on the $850 million Chicago project, calling it 'ugly' and insisting taxpayers were being left to cover the costs. The remarks came during a live segment on Fox News' Outnumbered on Thursday — the same morning the centre opened its doors to the public on Juneteenth.
'It's ugly, it's over budget, the taxpayers are footing the bill,' the Fox News host and daughter-in-law of President Donald Trump said on air. She then drew a pointed contrast with her father-in-law's own planned presidential library, saying: 'When I think about what I would want a legacy of a president to look like, I think about the Trump presidential library.'
