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.

I'm not saying it's a good reason, but people in flyover country get resentful when coastal elites don't even try to hide how they see them as degenerate inbred racist morons and want to exert ever-increasing control over their lives and impose their values.

Pardon me for asking, but how exactly would voting Trump help with that?

Like thinking you need to go on a diet so you decide to go for a nice fat döner roll. Seems counterproductive.

It won't, but it clearly annoys those damn smug city folk.

It won't, really, but he says he'll fight against the elites.

I live in Montana. Trust me, the people here see everyone else as inbred degenerates and want to exert ever increasing control over their lives 💀
