‘He’s never been in my house’: Hillary Clinton hits back at Trump

Hillary Clinton has pushed back against a comment about her house by Donald Trump on Friday.

Trump pushed back once he was told Clinton had criticised his Washington DC renovations.

"I don't like her house either. I know her house very well. The Oval Office is a place of victory," he said. 

Clinton responded with a pithy rebuke.

"He’s never been in my house," she said in a post on Bluesky.

"He’ll never be in my house.

"Thank you for your attention to the matter of my house."

Trump declares Oval Office a national monument, criticises Hillary Clinton’s house

Clinton and her husband Bill live in a home in Chappaqua, a town about an hour north of New York City.

The five-bedroom Dutch Colonial-style home has been the couple's primary residence after they left the White House in 2001.

They also have a second home in Washington DC, where she lived when she served as Secretary of State.

Trump criticised Clinton as he declared the renovations he has made to the Oval Office and Cabinet Room as a national monument. 

The proclamation signed by Trump may not be legally binding.

Trump has been criticised for his apparent obsession with covering the White House interiors with gold.

"It won’t be able to be taken down or destroyed, touched or anything else. It’s called actually a national monument. It’s a federal landmark," he said.

"It’ll make it impossible for anybody to ever destroy this incredible space."

Trump's renovations to the White House and other parts of Washington DC has a strong disapproval rating among voters.

Earlier today Trump axed his chief-of-staff Susie Wiles and replaced her with deputy Stephen Miller. 

The US president announced the change in a post on Truth Social.

"I am pleased to announce that Mr. Stephen Miller, the current Deputy Chief of Staff of the Trump Administration, and one of my most trusted advisors, will become the Chief of Staff starting Monday, November 9, 2026," Trump said.

"Susie Wiles, who has done an outstanding job, will be moving over to the Trump Political Operation. I want to thank her for her service as Chief of Staff — She has done a great job!"

Wiles was seen as a moderating influence on the Trump administration.

Miller meanwhile has long been viewed as a hardliner on immigration known for his aggressive media appearances.

Miller has been credited with the expansion of ICE and its unpopular crackdown on migrants.

Democrats were scathing in their criticism of Miller's promotion.

“Trump is elevating a literal white supremacist who is the architect of his cruel, callous agenda,” Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley said.

"The same agenda that the people overwhelmingly rejected at the ballot box."

Hakeem Jeffries, who is likely to be the next Speaker, did not mince his words.

“Stephen Miller is a dangerous xenophobe and reckless extremist who has American blood on his hands,” Jeffries said.

“His presence in government should be eradicated like a malignant tumour. Fire him today.”

Wiles was the first female White House chief-of-staff in US history.

The role is the second most powerful in the White House below the president.
