Seriously, how did this term get thrown into politics all of the sudden?
And I'm sure it goes back much further from both sides. It seems like a stupid talking point for the most part, but it's not new and not exclusive to the left.

”normalizing" is the other word worth noting like when Spicer appeared at the Oscars (or whatever award show it was) and hollywood went bonkers on social media about how this "normalizes" him by giving him this platform.
There it is, that’s the other word I was looking for! I think my Fallon interview example falls into this, and you are right about Spicer.
The two go hand in hand, same criticism at heart. I edited my OP to include it

It isn't a new concept. The weaponization of the term against political opposition is the concept that is new. The use of the term with regard to DPRK's leader is foolishness. He is the leader of a nation-state. He already has referential power. His nation state has nuclear weapons. The idea that he isn't "legitimized" is stupid.
