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.

Most people I know support Trump because they perceive him as a "strong man", which they value in a leader. They see Democrats as "soft". They his wealth, his treatment of women, his treatment of employees, and his reaction to being shot as signs of strength. Another reason is they see him as being more supportive of their one true religion. 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.

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.
