What's the best reason to vote for Trump? (self.asklemmy)

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.

Hey, I'll admit, that little boy brought up by the fundamentalist father; who once Christmas asked for a leather case for his Bible; who really did read the Bible cover to cover, old and new testaments, multiple times - that little boy is looking at Trump's base and seeing those warnings about the anti-Christ. It's not Trump. He's a foul person, but there are worse. It's how his base is reacting to him that makes me think of the anti-Christ.

There have been plenty of cults of personality, but this isn't another Pope, where, yeah, you kiss his ring but it's God you worship. No, his base worship him. I'm an atheist now, but that Christian child in me is still a little wigged out.
