How to say "You make it seem (___)?
Say I'm speaking to someone and they seem to be making a certain claim, and I wish to respond with "You seem to think it is __". For example, "You seem to think it's totally easy".
And "You make it seem __" . For example, "You make it seem so bad".
I'd also like to know how to say this indirectly. Like "'THEY make it seem __", or "They seem to think___"
Answers are all so very appreciated, as always!!

Because the circumstance is not known, it is difficult to translate a sentence, anyway, I tried.
You seem to think it's bad.
それは、悪いものだと思っているようですね。
You seem to think it's like nothing.
何でもないものと思っているようですね。
You seem to think it's totally easy.
とても簡単だと思っているようですね。
You make it seem so bad.
とても悪いもののように考えていますね。/思っていますね。/悪いもののように決めつけていますね。/悪いもののように(私達を)思わせますね。
You make it seem like nothing.
それは何でもないものと思っていますね。/何でもないように思わせますね。/何でもないような事を言いますね。
You make it looks so easy.
あなたは、それは、簡単なものであるかのように(私達を)思わせますね。/簡単なものであるかのような素振りをしますね。/言い方をしますね。
You make it look like its magic vine.
あなたは、それを魔法の蔓のように見せる。
'”make it seems " means that make it seem/look--- by means of ~ (usually behaviour or saying), therefore, when you translate it to Japanese you need to translate "by means of ~" although the part is not described in English sentence.
You seem to think ~
~と思っているよう。
