Trump made the remark to members at his golf club that "the White House is a dump!"

FACT is, he was telling the truth!

White House overrun with Cockroaches and Rats

October 4, 2013. Washington. The White House is over 200 years old and not the best building in America when it comes to keeping vermin out. But one would think that the most powerful man in the richest country in the world could stop cockroaches, rats and mice from taking over his home. Carter had mice. Bush had rats. And Obama has cockroaches.

Apparently, it’s no secret that the White House – the home of the country’s sitting President and his family – has always had a problem keeping unwanted vermin out. And once again, the problem is so out of control it’s making the President and the entire country look bad.

As the National Journal piece reminds readers, former President Jimmy Carter had a near-meltdown in 1977 when a meeting he was having with the Italian Prime Minister was invaded by the unbearable stench of dead mice coming from the walls of the White House meeting rooms.

Carter was so angry and frustrated at the time that he wrote in his diary, “For two or three months now I've been telling them to get rid of the mice. They still seem to be growing in numbers, and I am determined either to fire somebody or get the mice cleared out – or both."

First lady Barbara Bush had her own run-in with a giant rat during the Bush occupancy of the White House. While taking her daily swim in the White House pool, she was horrified to see a huge rat swimming with her. “It was enormous,” Mrs. Bush told reporters at the time, “and did not look like a Walt Disney friend, I'll tell you that.” The first lady was fortunate in that episode as the family dog Millie came to her rescue, taking care of the unwanted rat for good.
