Establishment politicians (especially those with strong links to corporate elites) and media representing the 0.1% almost never try to take him down on the basis of his policies. There's a good reason for that.
Polls have been done that ask about policies and ask voters to choose 'faceless' parties solely on the basis of those policies and people overwhelmingly choose him without realizing it.
Those policies are simultaneously a highly understated threat to the wealth and power of the 0.1%. Attacking those policies directly would likely just draw more attention to them (Streisand effect). So, they attack his character instead.
The Czech stuff you fell for was badly formulated propaganda that attempted to do exactly that. It backfired spectacularly.
