He just lost the popular vote by 2% and got only 46%. He is the most unpopular incoming President since Neolithic times. He is staffing his administration with a bunch of hard-right ideologues who are preparing to do big things to the government and the economy that no one supports and that he actually ran against. And this is even before he is mugged by events that he can't control, like a recession or a natural disaster or a war. I suspect he'll cope a little better than some people think, because I don't discount the business and military experience of many of his employees, but I also don't think he's ever going to be popular. When one party gets control of the government, the country has a way of moving back to divided government.
