Anyone who has different reasons for disliking Trump and Clinton, and the vast majority most likely does, already sees the difference and therefore cannot be indifferent. Regardless of that the original argument was whether or not the winner represents non-voters. On a personal level you cannot be represented by someone whose ideology you don't share and anyone who informed themselves and made the conscious decision not to vote for the winner clearly falls into that category.

Trump won the election and represents the country but by no means does that equal to every abstainer supporting his decisions.
