      Trump was a cash cow for the media and the stories they churned out to cash in (e.g. RUSSIA RUSSIA RUSSIA) were designed to provoke lib anxieties so they'd keep coming back to watch Rachel Maddow say the same shit for four years and keep forking over money for their WSJ and NYT subscriptions.

      This in turn did result in legitimate mental distress which of course impacts their wellbeing. They care about that more than the actual effects of anything Trump ever did.

      Trump played his role wrong.

      He was rude, impolite, had a disturbing anti-elitist flavour (not politics though) and he was saying the silent part out loud, making it hard for libs to maintain their delusions about the system being just.
