I’m not from the US, so I’m curious why Americans still wants him back. I always see him as a bad mouthed guy and was worse when he lost in 2020. But feel free to change my mind. This question is also for non-trump supporters who can think of one thing (if you can) on why he’s good for the top position.

      He’s good at providing hope. False hope, but that’s hard to admit if all other candidates seem hopeless.

      Especially for the blue collar working class and the rural poor who were forgotten by Republicans, actively hated on by Democrats. Also pretty much disenfranchised by the winner takes all electoral system.

      He didn’t manage to destroy the country in the first term due to the constant opposition from Democrats. That not obvious at first sight. If you were completely new to US politics he’d just seem loud and vaguely innefective.

          I’m chronically online, and have seen the way anyone not in the “urban progressive” crowd is talked about in American politics discussion. Would you vote for the option which continually insults your appearance, origins, dialect and arrogantly dismisses any legitimate concerns you may have.

            I haven’t experienced any of that but wherever dude. 🤷

            Maybe the working man should vote for the party that wants to make unions illegal and bring back child labor and the 7 day work week.

            Jesus wept.
