To paraphrase Noam Chomsky (IIRC) in many respects the left in the US is equivalent to the center right in most other highly developed countries. HN has an international following. Combine US-based "left" with the rest of the world and you'll have a strong leaning away from the extreme right.
Add to that, Trump comes across as technology illiterate, sometimes hostile [1], which goes against the grain of the average HN reader.
