I'm curious since he was never their President and you don't get to vote.

Any non US people here want to chime in? It would be interesting to hear why. Since you don't have a horse in the race and can't really be labeled an American right winger.

Unapologetic Trump fan myself
 
He is great entertainment no matter what he does. Best presidency ever. 10/10.

Might have been a shit president, I don't know, US politics are irrelevant to me, but the memes were glorious.

The entire thing felt like a 4 year long sitcom, lol

I liked some of his foreign policy, his drive to bring manufacturing back to the US, (something we desperately needed to do in Australia), and his “America first” focus. A strong America can be a great good for the world.

He had lots of drawbacks, personally as well as a leader. And he had opportunities to root out more corruption, have more integrity and to implement policies which he left on the table during his time as president. So I’d hardly say I loved him. But despite the media portrayal of him as a fascist imbecile I consider him vastly better than the current abysmal administration.
 
Trump is/was wildly unpopular among the majority of industrialised nations, AFAIK.

As for the reasons why - he is obviously not a clever man who has absolutely no business being near any position of power, who now has a cult like following among others who are even dumber than he (some of whom are in this thread)

Non Americans who support Trump tend to be reactionary folks with little interest in policy or history, but prefer to communicate their political preferences in memes. At least from my experience.

The media influences popularity….no surprise here….
 
Most of the people I run into in rural Minnesota don't even like Trump, but they plugged their noses and voted for him. Pretty much the same for Biden. It's the Giant Douche vs Turd Sandwich election every time.

Most of these people outside of America that comment on President Trump are simply jealous and bored with their country, it’s a way of feeling like they are part of America, it’s their dream to live here…

ROFL I have lived there and its largely a dystopian shithole.
 
I think most reasonable people can also spot an obvious conman with zero principles too.

Just listen to him when he speaks. Does it sound like someone cerebral to you?

Most reasonable people know they can’t judge the true character or intelligence of a person they never met..
Most reasonable people know that to formulate such opinions based on news and second hand stories is foolish…
Most reasonable people know that someone who attains the highest office in the world must be intelligent..

The problem here is most people have shit for brains and are only motivated by tribal thinking and narrow minds..

To me it was the land of opportunity that let a regular guy live an extraordinary life…I guess it all depends on your outlook and experience..
