Your anecdote supports the truthiness vs. factiness argument. Trump avoided making statements, such as what his improvement would be, so that didn't get reported. He only made claims about at issues he considered needing intervention, leaving the specifics to implementation. One set of people assumed he wanted to undo progress, while another assumed he wanted to advance it. One statement, two conclusions.
