Like with Obama’s joke about Trump this week saying that the White House renovations made the building look like “Saddam Hussein opened a Cheesecake Factory”.
The GOP flipped out about the cheesecake factory part, but not about the comparison to Saddam.

It flopped, in large part because Republicans have fully forgotten how to meme. But it’s the standard conservative racism jujitsu.
