“There’s little question that President Donald Trump and his MAGA devotees can dish it out. Few things epitomize this populist movement more than its irreverence toward established institutions and its willingness to obliterate traditional standards of civility as it targets political enemies (and erstwhile friends during some internecine squabble). Trump’s social-media posts and statements are filled with invective and merciless mocking. … Yet a White House that routinely displays viciousness couldn’t bear being on the receiving end. It called South Park a ‘fourth-rate’ show that is ‘hanging on by a thread with uninspired ideas in a desperate attempt for attention.’ MAGA can be remarkably thin-skinned, the dictionary definition of people who can dish it out but can’t take it.” (07/31/25)
