The "baked in" argument seems to be one of the main conservative defenses of Trump's sleaziness: Yes, of course everyone knows that Trump is a sleaze, and yet he won two elections and still has massive support, so the understanding was "baked in" and therefore doesn't matter, and "this won't hurt him" etc.
