We can speculate on "why" all day. But in the end, all we have to evaluate public figures on is concrete action. It's what they do that matters.

Believe me, I have no illusions about Donald Trump and the team he's putting together. I'm quite concerned about them. But, like it or not, he's the president-elect and he'll soon have immense power. What he does with that power is what I'm focused on.
