He does something illegal on a practically daily basis and everyone just kisses his ass. Now I guess he can just continue on and conquer the whole world and kidnap world leaders. Why doesn’t anyone stand up to this asshole?

Nobody is ever the ‘good guys’. Everyone is struggling for power and control over everyone else. The Nazis thought they were the good guys too (and still do).
Trump is saying the quiet part out loud, yes. And it is very very upsetting to people.
Personally I don’t find any of what Trump does outrageous… but I have paid attention for 20+ years. Most people are only outraged at Trump because he makes the ugliness of our society visible, instead of kept in the closet out of sight.
But I don’t believe any of us will ever stop being ugly. It’s what we are as human beings. We just very much like to pretend we aren’t, especially when we are engaging in acts of violence and hostility. There is nothing ‘crazy’ about Trump, it’s just that he isn’t as PC as every president before him, and his fans LOVE it, and his haters HATE it.
Meanwhile when Obama was ‘politely’ murdering people via drone strikes he was hated by the right for not ‘putting boots on the ground’ (pussies use drones!) and congratulated by the left for being so ‘civilized’.
Might be, but the fact that they tried to look like the good guys (or at least to delay the revelation that they weren’t until they were out of office) meant they had to at least give a shit what their people and voters thought.
The fact that Trump doesn’t look like he even cares any longer what the shrinking number of his voters think does not look like a great sign either. And I’m not knowledgeable enough about US history to tell if that has a precedent or not, but I know we had quite a few in Europe.
