^There's way too much of that these days... Sure there is plenty of those who have valid criticism for one reason or another, but man, the comments on some sites are just... random and illogically pessimistic.
Say what you will about him and his own pessimistic tactics, but I really think he wants to make the US as successful as possible.
This article with quotes from that book he had a hand in does a pretty good job at describing him for better and for worse:

Of course that's back from 1987, so take it with some salt.
As for his policies... He was aligned with the democrats not that long ago. He's not your typical republican or conservative. And he's been in the left's media machine for a while. He does have
his plan for the first 100 days which I think he'll stick to for the most part. But beyond that, people should be using this chance to get together and organizing their plans and voices. If there is a particular agenda that you feel strongly about, it seems like now is the time to get involved in politics, rather than shut down and sulk, rebel or run away. With the stars aligning for republicans it just seems like a unique time to get involved in this stuff... for either side since so many people are paying attention more than they were.
Anyway... I just think this presidency will be willing to listen to anyone that has a good plan for the future. You just have to be willing to go beyond feeling helpless, and instead desire to start something, work with others, and stick with it; always looking for a better plan and keep evolving while staying true to your core principles or agenda.
Perhaps nothing has changed for you, or maybe it has... but if you have changed, then that's where it starts.
I mean if Trump can become president, then anything is possible D:
(I know I'm missing a lot of details to make a convincing argument, but hopefully you get the spirit of the message.)
