If I were Trump and I was staring at a presidency where in fact I won the archaic Electoral College math but lost the popular vote by over 2 million, I feel like it wouldn't be good enough to ask the other 53%+ who didn't vote for me to simply unite with me, as Trump has done.
I feel like I'd want to do a couple of things in order to throw a bone at the majority that didn't vote for me. So I think it's fair that Trump has been pretty clear about revealing that the whole scheme of putting Hillary in jail was really just a campaign ruse. Or that, in fact, he really isn't going to get rid of Obamacare. The more he actually learns about it, the less inclined he has gotten to want to scrap it as much as he'd like to tweak a couple things and then slap a Trumpcare sticker on the whole thing in the hopes no one notices him trying to take credit for what another president did.
On his appointments so far is where I grade him negatively. I personally like Gov. Haley. She seems a rational person to me, even if many of her policy positions I disagree with. Apart from her though, he's surrounding himself with 3rd-rate talent in the form of people who are only chosen for their loyalty to him rather than their qualifications for the job.
I fear a calamity of a presidency with him, but I hope for the best. Having said that, I do feel resistant to the idea of ever joining him because his most passionate supporters are awful, ugly, and yes, deplorable people who need to be stood up to more than anything.
