I think part of the plan Trump has is to be so totally gooseberry fool that so much news is made every day that people think "Hang on he can't seriously be that bad can he?" to which the answer to anyone paying attention is yes he can.
Unfortunately Trump also has the backing of Fox News who will gladly polish any turd that floats their way from Trump and Fox and Friends who make a gaggle of lovestruck schoolgirls look fair and balanced "They may as well do a whole morning show about why Trump is the hunkiest World leader of all time by this point" and that's where a large chunk of Americans get their news.
From the outside looking in it's quite clear Trump is a buffoon who's eroding US norms like the rule of law every time he criticises judges and the FBI or the freedom of the press by constantly calling them unAmerican but many on the inside don't get the whole picture and just get told about the few things he's had success with.
If any of us were as incompetent at our job as he is we'd have been fired months ago and the company would likely hold a party at our departure because they have so many less disasters to deal with now. All the next President has to do is be a standard world leader and they're going to look like statesman of the century compared to Trump.
Maybe they could start by not randomly attacking long standing allies for no reason and not expecting a free country like the UK to completely illegally ban protests just because he's a thin skinned arse.
