I would again say that imo it's not really a lack of institutional trust; they fully trust institutions (and certainly enjoy flexing institutional power) just as long as people they trust are running them.

I always thought of "institutional trust" as "belief that an institution can do what it's supposed to do", and that one can have low trust in an institution even if someone they have high regard for is in control of it. But I see MAGA not really doing that. They seem to believe the institutions they control are capable of achieving what they want to achieve.
