I'm not even sure it's about like/dislike. Trump winning the election was a huge surprise, even to some Trump supporters. Many people are looking for a reason to "explain" the election of Trump. It makes stories about Russian meddling much easier to believe and experience outrage over.
Had it been Hillary, I don't think there would've been this kind of outrage. She was the "obvious" choice for president. It would be hard to believe a story about Chinese hackers since she didn't need that kind of help anyway. If it did come out that there was some kind of foreign influence, it would've been much easier to downplay it as negligible since the election of Hillary wouldn't have been much a surprise.
