This has been something I've been trying to figure out for a while now. Why isn't Trump's failure to follow the rules of more concern to his supporters? I've only come up with one conclusion, and it's fairly scary. They believe that the "system" is rigged against Trump therefore any "rule breaking" he may do is justified because the other side is also breaking rules in their minds. They cannot fathem a reality where Trump is doing anything wrong. Every single thing he does is justifiable. All of it. He is infallible in their eyes. When people call MAGA a cult, they really aren't that far off the mark. When he said he could shoot someone in the middle of 5th Ave and no one would care, he wasn't wrong. His supporters and those who fear angering him will find a way to excuse anything he does. It's terrifying.
