The White House is praising President Donald Trump for having “saved Cracker Barrel” after major conservative backlash drove the country-themed restaurant to restore its original logo.

Conservatives freaked out that Cracker Barrel had gone “woke” due to a decidedly neutral logo change, somehow concluding that the simplified update (involving just the restaurant name on a yellow, barrel-shaped background) was all LGBTQ+ people’s fault.

Trump himself got involved through a post on Truth Social, where he said the company should change its logo back to “Make Cracker Barrel a WINNER again.”

With the announcement of the old logo’s return, the White House is now using its resources to gloat and claim that Trump somehow rescued the company.

“Promises made, promises kept,” wrote White House Deputy Press Secretary Anna Kelly on X, adding that Trump “has saved Cracker Barrel!”

“You’re welcome, America!” she concluded, though it isn’t clear what “promises” Trump made during his campaign that involved monitoring private companies’ logos.

An email to the White House Press Corp obtained by Meidas Touch included a quote from White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt praising Trump’s “unmatched business instincts” and “uncanny ability to understand what the American people want.”

“Cracker Barrel is a great American company, and they made a great decision to Trust in Trump!”

Many on social media have had a field day mocking the right for its meltdown.
