Maybe that's why Obama wanted to get Trump in as soon as possible, to maximize the amount of time he'll try and convince him to do the right things.
Yeah, I actually tend to be more forgiving than most when a politician can't live up to all their promises. There are some things that just end up not being feasible that you can't expect someone to understand until they have all the information. And during a campaign, the side you are campaigning against is never going to help you out by sharing that information. If a politician changes their mind after more information is available, I am not going to fault them for it. It's what anyone should do.

I would fault them for not being able to foresee that they didn't have all the necessary information, but not for eventually making the right decision (if any of that makes sense).
