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 comes across as the chosen one and closer to God than most.

This is the greatest hypocracy for which I cannot forgive Christian Republicans.

This is a man who, by his deeds and unrepentance for them, is the most unchristian of any candidate he's faced. The only time he's held a Bible was when waving it for a photo op, or when at a rally for Christians. He has set foot in any church in his adult life probably about the same number of times a I've read the Bible - which is few, but not many. And this, compared to men and women who attend their's regularly.

He is the most un-Christian candidate to have campaigned for the Presidency in probably the entire history of the US. And these hypocritical bastards worship him like the golden calf.

What's funny to me is that people are drawing connections from the Bible and the signs of the anti Christ to him. Lol.

Hey, I'll admit, that little boy brought up by the fundamentalist father; who once Christmas asked for a leather case for his Bible; who really did read the Bible cover to cover, old and new testaments, multiple times - that little boy is looking at Trump's base and seeing those warnings about the anti-Christ. It's not Trump. He's a foul person, but there are worse. It's how his base is reacting to him that makes me think of the anti-Christ.

There have been plenty of cults of personality, but this isn't another Pope, where, yeah, you kiss his ring but it's God you worship. No, his base worship him. I'm an atheist now, but that Christian child in me is still a little wigged out.

I think the bible even warns them to be on the lookout for charlatans like him. I can't remember the quote/chapter/verse tho.
