Re: Why do you love Trump?
I don't love Trump per se (probably an asshole IRL) but there are things I loved about him: destroying the reputation of the mainstream media was his legacy IMO. He pretty much proved they aren't news but social engineering outlets. He wanted to break up the two party establishment (Democrats and Republicans are really just the controlled opposition of the organic left and right movements by the people themselves, and they rarely deliver big wins to their voters). He wanted to crack down on immigration that will almost certainly result in a balkanized United States along ethnic & religious lines (this country has no common culture or identity but it's a mish-mash of people all over the world crammed together for no apparent reason other than to take advantage of the country's benefits). He wanted to destroy the administrative bureaucracy (get rid of all the useless agencies and regulations and workers who produce nothing but take everything). Above all that, he was relentless, never backed down and wasn't a coward like 99% of the GOP. It was only in the end that he cucked, by not going out on his shield over the election fraud, preferring to just walk away back to his playboy life.
That's why he'll never be truly great. He had a chance to be something more significant but ultimately he didn't really have the conviction to go all the way and risk imprisonment. Compare that to Hitler (who to this very day is talked about, for better or worse) who put his life on the line, did time in jail and kept coming back until he seized ultimate power and made real change (short-lived, but he did save the country from the economic destruction of the Weimar Republic). Since we're on a football board, Trump got America to the 50 yard line before punting while Hitler got Germany inside the 5 yard line before turning it over on downs and dying on the field trying to score. Allegedly.

I realize the Hitler/Trump comparison is usually used by the left to make Trump seem evil, but I actually see parallels between the two that aren't designed to make someone look bad. Both were known for massive rallies with feverishly loyal followers. Both wanted to drastically remake the government and were fighting all the establishment figures of their day. Both were reviled by, and hostile to, the press. Both had a cult of personality. Hitler was just way more serious and had his people in mind while it looks like Trump was at least significantly motivated by personal gain.

Re: Why do you love Trump?
I never got the Hitler comparison. Trump is too self centred and isn’t really interested in governing. It was a lazy comparison by liberal media.
Some people mention his chaotic style, what he was doing was trying to destroy government institutions (deep state) from the top down, by appointing saboteurs as executives. It certainly paralysed the government.

Oh, you're a supporter. Reality check: Trump sold us out at the end. If the election was a fraud (and I think it was), you go down with guns blazing. In fact, that Capitol siege was a massive blown opportunity. He had almost a million people there. If he truly wanted to stage a reverse coup, they needed a plan. Instead he just told his followers to march peacefully, didn't march with them and went home, and when all his supporters got arrested by the FBI, he didn't pardon a single soul, didn't pardon Assange or Snowden, but he pardoned Little Wayne. Paper tiger. But I'm glad he woke everyone up.

Re: Why do you love Trump?
Lol what is this ridiculous narrative that Trump is some genius businessman? He was born with the biggest of silver spoons in his mouth and said his dad "gave him a small loan of a million dollars" to start with LMAOOOOOO.....he's gone bankrupt 6 times which is 6 more times than any average person who voted for him could even afford to go through. And he had a fake University to boot. Trump might be the best/worst fake businessman of all times.
