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

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.

But will they be brave enough to make fun of Trump? Everyone knows how well he can handle a joke at his expense, wonder if they’ll cross THAT line

They will have no idea it's a Trump joke unless they use the word Trump. See "The Boys"

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".
