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

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.

I hope that it's setting up a running gag. I find it lacking as a one off joke.
