This is what I don't understand about Trump supporters. If any other candidate lied like Trump does, they would be called out on it.

Trump supporters overlook his lies while citing the inability to trust other candidates.

The Guradian piece you just linked to, by Jonathan Freidland, opines a little on that. Friedland thinks the Trump supporters are so angry about establishment lies that Trump gets a pass for his:

But that is to forget that Trump’s core supporters believe it is the establishment – the media and political elites – that have lied to them for at least two decades. So when those same elites brand Trump a liar, his supporters either don’t believe it, or else they don’t care.
