Netflix content creator Barack Obama stuck his head up to prove to the world once again that there’s still no Democrat who can effortlessly irritate Republicans like he does. At issue this time is Obama’s admittedly decent one-liner at a campaign rally about how Donald Trump has the White House looking like “Saddam Hussein opened a Cheesecake Factory.”
The quip launched a thousand MAGA tweets defending the honor of that restaurant chain from out-of-touch elites. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent — estimated net worth $500 million — seized the moment by lunching there today, telling a waiting Fox Business reporter afterward that he ordered his usual, the French dip cheeseburger, and recommending that “the Martha’s Vineyard set . . . give it a try.”
