How has Trump been able to defy so many political norms?

Because he has a cult who worships him and they don't care.

He does, but it's not just his cult evidently. He won over independents with this kind of behavior in 2016 and that was a huge step in normalizing it. Had he been crushed with independents, it would be clear that his cult is indeed a minority of the country and shouldn't be pandered to. But for some reason, there's a sizeable chunk of voters who were supposedly "on the fence" that chose to legitimize this.

There's nothing to say independents can't be part of a cult

He hates the Presidency, but loves America so much. He also doesn't follow political correctness and will tell the truth as it is, which is why people love him so much.

I think there is a strong argument that literally no president in history has cared less about America than Trump. He cares only about himself.

He... hasn’t? His party got absolutely destroyed in 2018 and he’s getting crushed by Biden right now?

Obama got beat bad in two elections: 10 and 14 and it didn't stop him from winning in 2012. Your point?

Obama didn't routinely have a net approval rating worse than -10 during 2012
