30% of Republicans want to bomb fictional home of Aladdin






Muslim empires stretched across three continents for hundreds of years, but there’s one Arabian character who stands out to all Americans. And 41 percent of Donald Trump’s supporters want to bomb him to kingdom come.

A recent survey from Public Policy Polling asked respondents their opinion on bombing Agrabah. Among Trump supporters, 41 percent were in favor of bombing, while 51 percent were not sure and only 9 percent opposed.

The problem? Agrabah is the fictional homeland of the beloved Disney character Aladdin.

Trump supporters weren’t the only ones to take a strong stand against Disney’s Arabian hero. More than 30 percent of Rick Santorum, Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz, Chris Christie and Jeb Bush supporters also backed the attack. Overall, 30 percent of respondents were in favor of the magic carpet bombing. . . Lindsey Graham was the only candidate for whom a majority of supporters didn’t want to send an explosive message to the beloved character. The survey did not ask if people knew they were in fact attacking a fictional city.
