I call it Type 2 TDS. It's characterized by the belief that Trump was perfect; never did, nor will ever do, anything wrong; and the ability to completely ignore or rationalize comments like this. Idk if he was in on it from the beginning or if he was told how things work after he was elected, but he was given a script, and as long as he didn't go off script, he could play the Mr. President role however he wanted. Biden, Barry, Bush: all reading from the same script, just playing different imagings of the same character.
