I think you are discounting how the election itself can bring eyeballs and green backs. He is only to utter an outrageous statement and create a media buzz. Plus, he has won over most of the media, anyway. Or at least they are willing to grade Trump on a curve.
Rich scum protect their own. That is why US "news" conglomerates always treat him with gloved baby hands.
On the other hand though, there is a vast well of exhaustion with him from people outside his brain rotted fanatics. Given there is now a reasonable-ish alternative, the old rules are not as firm as they were.
