Additionally, he's a celebrity who is now president. Other than Reagan who left showbiz to be a politician before becoming president, how often does someone so widely known attain such a high office? Think of the most polarizing left-wing celebrity you can think of being elected president and then asking his/her detractors to put aside what he or she has been doing for decades and "give it a chance."
Even beyond the fact that our society has been love-hating Trump (in that odd way we love-hate so many famous people) for so long, there have been specific jokes over the years spoofing the idea of Trump being president, in the Simpsons, or a Trump parody dictating society via Old Biff in Back to the Future II and so on.
I've already heard some people groaning over the idea of Oprah being president, and I don't blame them for having preconceived notions because it's Oprah...she's well known. They aren't making such pre-conceived notions for the glut of unknown democrat politicians who will actually run.
