Layla’s world bears a distinct resemblance to the first three years of Trump’s presidency. He called Mexicans murders and rapists during his campaign launch, as Layla says he said about Muslims. He banned travel from Muslim countries, and advocated an America First policy of nationalism supported by lies and superlatives and dog whistles to racist groups.
