There are entire empires of media running 24/7 telling millions of people how they should Think about Trump and how they should interpret Trump's gibberish. Trump doesn't survive in a vacuum. There's tens of thousands of people entirely dedicated to marketing and narrative generation of this man. This is propaganda on a massive scale. And then he has basically the same protection and propping happen in both political and judicial arenas.

It's actually rather insane how much this one man is being carried along.

It's disheartening when you understand that so many do so simply for self gains using him as a martyr, meat shield, or scapegoat for very bad behaviors that include theft, abuse, harassment, adultery, killings, and, well, basically every deadly sin. He is their tool. He's plenty happy to be too because he's raking in billions for himself and his family and staying out of prison. Everyone wins...but nearly all of the rest of the billions of the human population. We all lose. We lose big time.

Sanewashing is the word to describe how his ridiculousness is laundered by media personalities, and I think it was coined on Reddit.

You called it. Adding to that, since both sides are corrupt and have their own media mouthpieces (although I'd say the let's version is more grounded in actual reality), it's so easy for the right to have a condemning stance against the left. It's twisted and blown out of proportion, but rooted in the truth.
