If Donald Trump could pretend to be less of an idiot, and start acting even 1/2 as presidential as Barack Obama did, people would not be even close to as against him as they currently are.
You don't have to act any type of way to get credit for your actions. His point is valid, Trump is disliked, for numerous reasons, so an action by him that would have earned praise for others is met with silence, or disdain in Trump's case. It is certainly human nature to allow one's feelings about a person to color your perception of their actions. That doesn't make it right.
