Trump comes out of nowhere, wins against all odds, and does what he promised as a candidate; how can it get any more Martian than that? What was Dan looking for, a peaceful Marxist revolution? Submission to The Matriarchy?
I'd say Dan was looking for a Martian who would be nicer. Remember the image Dan always liked of a hypothetical show where two guys in suits sat down in a room and talked politics over cigars? I think Dan won't commit until he gets the total package because to him, the character of a politician is as important as the actions of the politician, which is a gap that goes back to the debate on whether officials are representatives of the people or representatives in themselves and elected by the people.

And in my soul am free,

Enjoy such Liberty" - Richard Lovelace
