Maybe it’s all Trump’s fault. People are so used to Trump now they couldn’t see Obama in that way anymore.

Trump said so many things in 2016 that would have been national news stories for weeks but the campaigns just moved along as normal. Mitt Romney's campaign was torpedoed because he said he had "binders full of women." and that was enough. Howard Dean made a weird yell in 2004 and that sank his campaign.

In the Bush Jr vs Gore debates, Gore sighed at Bush and it was an entire media cycle.
