Why do some people think Trump is a good man?

Because he reflects their fears and concerns back to them. They think he tells the "truth".

I genuinely believe that not many think he's a good man but they love what he stands for, and they despise the "woke" people he stands against

I do not think people think he is a good person per se. But I think they appreciate that he speaks the truth of his intentions and mind, at times when many politicians keep taking more u-turns that humanely possible. As an example, he said he would build a wall and he built it.
I think wgat you observe is the consequences of much of the media and democrats stating that only thick as mince people could possibly vote for Trump. So, obviously, they are going to feel touchy about this.
Most USA voted republican. They will have to come up with some other explanation, won't they? Certainly, the republicans are offering a better solution to the problems the population faces.

Why do you think he isn’t?

That’s really interesting. Did she really not know?

That's because they're the whining classes.

People want simple solutions. Even when those simple solutions are heinous. Deport immigrants and your problems will be solved. Build a wall and you'll have jobs. Make America great again. Vote for Brexit and the health service will be saved (oops, sorry, wrong country). Speak to people's self-interest and don't spare blaming somebody else for their problems. It's a winning formula.

I heard on R4 that less than a third of Americans who voted Republican are ardent trump supporters. And of that third, I don't think many of them are under the illusion that he's a nice guy. I just think he's the sort of not-very-nice guy who they think would be good to have on their side.

I would have thought that was obvious. People don't like being told they're stupid and vote for lying sociopaths. (See Brexit)

I have no idea. Maybe they thought a 50/50 chance that he was telling the truth was still better than the zero change of Kamala doing anything.

Crowing that the people who voted for him must be stupid doesn’t help any arguments. The left need to sit down and seriously look at why people voted for him, and not for them. They can’t just claim to BE morally above them and that’s enough.

And none of them twigged he was lying?

They are really going to get a shock when they find out they are the man he’s sticking it too.

Their other option was rubbish and made Trump look more appealing.

I would say the democrats are the 'least bright' considering they couldn't defend against Trump.

Calling the majority in America racist, thick, etc will never win votes.

He swept to victory. The question isn't why they voted for him, it's why they didn't vote for the Democrats.

People don’t need to like a president personally. He has said he is going to halve energy costs for US citizens in a year. He has said he’ll make sure they have more money in their pockets, when they are currently feeling financial pressures from rising costs of gas, prices, energy, inflation.

Kamala didn’t offer anything.

People vote with their wallets when the going gets tough.

There is something that he says to people who feel like their left behind that appeals to them and it is true that there are many of them in the US, who have rejected the Democrats because they do not speak for them anymore.

Bernie Sanders understood this last time and understands it now, but because he is regarded as being somewhat to the left of Lenin, when he is actually a democratic socialist, his voice and those like him are ignored, and they elect a monster.

Well the only good thing I can think of is that at least Elon Musk cannot be President at any point in the future.

I'd be very wary of him just the same. A puppeteer.

Of which the GOP control both, so a bit of a moot argument

Those who voted for Trump were not voting for him, but voting for anyone but the Dems.

No one could be that stupid as to vote for that moron, but I believe they felt they could not vote for the Dems due to their leftie woke leanings and a black woman. I know, I know, Trump is despicable and there will be trouble ahead especially for women I think, but that's America for you.

I bet he does!!!!

I've got visions of Trump hanging onto the White House frontdoor by his fingernails whilst the FBI try to unprise his fingers 😂

Because I thought my paragraph said it better.

Plenty of fascist dictators were intelligent enough to know what appealed to people's emotions. Many were highly charismatic.

Trump is honest in the sense that he shows you the mechanism behind the curtain.

No idea. He's a disgusting person in so many ways. He's a corrupt, racist person who is obsessed with status. Thick as mince isn't right imo; he's cunning and manipulative with zero shame. Given that we had Johnson for so many years, I don't doubt that most of us as voters are shallow and easily led. I think Johnson and Trump despise us for choosing them.
