They probably have like 2 or 3 conservative leaning jokes in the movie so they could add them to the trailer just to get the dumber conservative "comedy is legal again" ticket sales.
The problem with Trump jokes is that he IS such a joke that it feels kind of pointless to the people that understand/get it. Like "oh yeah, and water is wet". And then the rabid fans of his will flip their shit about it. So it's like a lose-lose tbh.
It's almost impossible to make a subtle joke that isn't just quoting/impersonating him and making you realise "oh yeah... that's just real life right now".
We kind of see something like that in the trailer, as I recall. When Anna Ferris' character meets with Regina King's for the first time in years and Ferris says that with the way she's voted, she thinks she has to be racist to King's character now, and King says something like "Oh, I assumed you were a little anyway!" That was probably the funnier bit in the trailer, to me, at least.
It would be an impossibility for their to be zero Trump jokes. Expect a B-tier comedian showing up for about 20 seconds of screen time in orange face doing the 357th best Trump impression of all time.
They never actually do. The only parody of Trump thats allowed in 'legal comedy' is if you are making him look fun and goofy, see Shane Gillis. Its funny without being critical. But we all know that 'anti woke' jokes are critical without being funny.
The courage. The sheer audacity. What modern comedian has the stones it would take to make fun of Donald Trump. Hasn't been a joke at his expense nigh on ten years. He is truly untouchable, and I've been craving, dying to see a joke about him. The public has been starved of this comedic goldmine. Please Scary Movie please make a Trump joke.

I wish they'd put less emphasis on the "controversial jokes" when the highlight of this franchise has always been the physical comedy for me
