I'd also read the personal accounts of Trump's behavior from people like Tony Schwartz, author of "The Art of the Deal", and his other biographers long before the election, and there was nothing in his campaigning which contradicted their descriptions of him as a narcissistic, sociopathic dummy with a short attention span. One of the other biographers was asked about when we'd finally see the "real Trump", as if he was carrying out a show to garner votes, and the guy insisted that was REALLY him that we saw on stage -- as the media kept pondering when Trump would start acting more "Presidential".

So even media members were clearly holding onto myths, not totally believing their own eyes and ears, while Trump was showing himself to the world.
