Bluesky, an echo chamber?

It is the honeymoon period every president elect experiences. It usually doesn't last once they actually become president. I wouldn't read much into it. Americans are if anything optimistic after an election.

Likewise I wouldn't read much into Democrats' despondency after the loss. That's also pretty typical for the losing side immediately after the election.

I will say most voters aren't actually paying much attention to the transition or his nominations. But no, it isn't like Trump is all of a sudden super popular. It is just the honeymoon period.
