Gave you a like, CivilSociety...but a thought occurs, based on comments from a Washington Post reporter interviewed by CBC not long ago:

The Presidency is not a TV reality show, however, many Americans haven't made the switch, either.  They KNOW Donald Trump is the President, but still "see" him as a TV personality, and so find his outrageous comments (and language) quite acceptable.  That is why his approval ratings may be higher than otherwise.  They think he's doing just fine.
