Sports Illustrated reported Tuesday that the president told patrons of his Bedminster golf club that the historic presidential residence is "a real dump" in an effort to explain his frequent visits.

The magazine reports that the president felt comfortable expressing such views because he tends to be "unguarded among the people who pay for their proximity to him."

Clinton began living in the White House at the age of 12 after her father, former President Bill ClintonBill ClintonJohn Oliver takes on Alex Jones over Infowars product ads Judd Gregg: Democrats' banal deal Kelly starts new White House gig Monday amid high hopes from Republicans MORE, was sworn into office in 1993.

Trump has lived in the White House for just over six months, a residence that every president since John Adams starting in 1800 has lived at.
