Trump does make things more complicated. The ruling class is not unified, there are factions within that are at odds with one another. A lot of the liberal media is loyal to a particular neoliberal faction of the ruling class that Trump is not a part of, and some have capitulated sooner / more completely than others. There was a time when Trump actually was an outsider (in relative terms) who represented a fringe minority of the ruling class.
