now feels that Trump's ratings are so low that he can stand up to him. Literally just a month ago, nobody dared challenge Trump on anything. Now we have Powell, Murdoch, big parts of MAGA openly attacking him, or better yet, dismissing him as a person that ought to be gone soon.

Let's see if he threatens to sue South Park, which is an entirely fictional world. The reality is that South Park just got $1.5 BILLION to produce satire for the next 5 years. They have deeper pockets than Trump and they can put a tiny-dick Trump in bed with Satan every damn week if that's how Trump wants to play.

The S.P. creators know Trump's deepest vulnerabilities, and they are just getting started. I bet Trump doesn't dare go after them.

Let's hope that the media follows that cue. It makes for much more useful news, AND better ratings.

I think a lot of this will depend on the Murdochs. Will Fox openly challenge Trump in this same way? They have occasionally contradicted Trump mildly, but not usually to his face. Let's see if Fox takes the next step. That will tell us whether the Theil camp is ready to try to force Trump out.
