Sorry to interrupt, but why the cheesecake? I just found it hilarious for some reason, but I’m not getting whether the cheesecake bears any hidden meaning I’m not getting.

The Cheesecake Factory is a restaurant chain. It’s decor is intentionally over-the-top. Saddam Hussein lived a very extravagant lifestyle, even by dictators’ standards, and famously built himself palaces so filled with gold and precioua things that instead of looking luxurious they looked tacky and in horrible taste. Obama joked that Trump’s White House looks like if Saddam Hussein opened a Cheesecake factory (Trump and MAGA took it about as well as you can imagine).
