I’d think they’d be more upset at the swipe against Saddam

It’s a 100% lock that if he was in power now, Trump would love Saddam and would be kissing up to him and talking about how great he is. And Elon and Steven Miller would love his ethnic policies. Iraq for the Sunnis!

Meanwhile, between Trump, RFK Jr., and Vance there's a race to the bottom where it comes saying awful things about Muslims, Somalis, Transgender, etc. and it's just business as usual.

...but a democrat dare insult a beloved suburban mall restaurant staple!!!! *clutches pearls*
