Discuss the role of humor and satire in politics, specifically in relation to the current administration and its reactions to criticism.
I was thinking about this very thing today.  SNL is hammering the Trump White House through humor, using the Trump White House's own verbal idiocy.  Name a right wing comedian who is actually humorous.  I couldn't no matter how long I pondered this question. The right doesn't laugh at themselves, or each other very much,  and that's why anger against others worked for Trump.  Every time he can't stop himself from tweeting about SNL is one more time he proves he is a sociopathic narcissist fueled by perceived injustice against him and hyper-vigilant about his fragile ego.  It is only going to get worse for him and for the US.
