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.

Simple. Trump's basically a cult leader.

I agree with the people here that there aren't any.

The closest to a 'good reason' is that some people want certain policy outcomes that Trump has promised, not all of which are in and of themselves morally wrong. What's wrong is that they believe that the ends justify the means, which they quite famously do not.

He promises quick personal gain at the expense of others. If I was selfish and above the poverty line I'd probably vote for him so that my tiny portfolio raises a couple of points more in the next 4 years.

Crickets, tumbleweeds…. Sounds about right.

There really isn't. Is just that Joe Biden was such a bad joke of a president, Trump was a funny joke of a president. Lesser of 2 evils scenario.

As someone also not American I can think of some good reasons. But I'd rather hear Americans, they are the ones who vote for him
