Why do some people think Trump is a good man?

The global population is 8 billion even as natural resources, the need for human labour, etc are declining.

Of course it's going to be more difficult to find a way to earn a living and to get a share of the good life, on an ever-shrinking planet.

People who blame that on heads of state are morons.

Oh come on. Even if you think he'll be good at being president, no one who brags about sexual assault is a good man.

People who think he'll make a better president than Harris would have but who don't really like him/his personality are far more sensible than people who think he's a wonderful and decent man who will manage to (in his words) "solve every problem in America". Any politician in any country who says "I can solve every problem" is either a liar or a complete idiot.

If your friend only saw positive news coverage of Trump then she was purposely turning to one (possibly two) cable news channels. The vast majority of network (mainstream) news coverage of Trump in the US is mainly critical.

Your friend supported him and sought out positive coverage. Nothing to do with censorship; everything to do with confirmation bias.

'Where? When?'
Trump talked about injecting bleach at the White House press conference on April 23 2020. I watched the news, a lot of people did. There's a transcript easily findable online. I've pasted a quote below.

I do think every country has its own political system. I get upset when people impose British solutions on US situations, or on any other country, without taking a different system and culture into account. But that doesn't mean it's impossible to have a view, or impossible to identify when a politician is so terrifyingly out if their depth that they are actively dangerous.

'And then I see the disinfectant, where it knocks it out in one minute. And is there a way we can do something like that by injection inside or almost a cleaning because you see it gets in the lungs and it does a tremendous number on the lungs, so it'd be interesting to check that so that you're going to have to use medical doctors with, but it sounds interesting to me.'

There are a lot of people, even in the UK who act like you have offended their mum or dad if you point out what an awful person he clearly is. Even his own family don't like him and plenty of people have said how his relationships with his own children are merely transactional.

If people like him, is it because they are fascists themselves deep down? Or is it some type of mass hysteria?

The Trump dementia claims have been about since his last Presidential term. There’s a reason he was boasting about his ‘very hard’ mini mental state test. And if Trump is aiming claims about senility or dementia at Biden then it’s a fair bet he’s worried about his own mental acuity. He has a tendency to make claims about others based on his own insecurities.

And if republicans really thought getting words wrong and switching names was a barrier to being a president then Trump wouldn’t have been anywhere near the nomination.

Where? When? This is a ridiculous claim and carry on with this you never get anyone to vote for the democrats.

About lies if you are drilling your opponent for being a liar you do not do it by lying. Did you forget how they covered for Biden’s dementia? The cherry on top came when they sacked Biden and started saying that Trump had dementia and was incapable to run. You couldn’t make it up. The only thick people are the ones falling for those lies of the sanctimonious left.

I've just read an article where voters who like him expressed pleasure at his Cabinet picks. Tbh it's just made me think that I need to die soon, but I'm only 55 so that's unlikely. I'm clearly out of step with what other people think if the parade of wackjobs and extremists he's picked so far is what people like.

I do see the huge desire to stop funding Ukraine and let Putin crush resistance there so that there is an end to fighting. That at least is likely to happen.

I do remember watching him stating that they were thinking of trying injecting bleach indeed. That was quite a moment LOL

Talking of lies, do you accept that Trump did indeed talk about injecting bleach to cure Covid?

I don't agree that it's as straightforward as people not being very bright, having no morals, having extreme Christian beliefs or being MAGA fanatics.
Clearly Trump reach goes well beyond these stereotypes. It was far from the case that this election was won from the votes of uneducated insular Americans. Much wider demographic groups played a significant role in his victory too.
I suspect that most Trump voters from a wide variety of backgrounds were well aware of his morals and lack of integrity, but they chose overlook that to vote for him anyway.
I suspect that for many Americans the choice came down to whose policies they felt would be most likely to give them what they feel they most need - more disposable income, reduce their gas bills, grocery store costs etc etc. The things that are important to people day to day. Trump understood this and capitalised on it.
To answer a previous question I suspect some atypical Trump voters get angry and offended when we brand them/him as stupid because as Brits we tend to simply view Trump as bad and mad. The US election being the choice between good and evil. Trump voters were obviously willing to look beyond the man and focus on what he can potentially deliver for them and their families. And I think many are willing to overlook the madness of Trump if they feel that they'll be largely unaffected by the darker side of his beliefs and proposed policies.
GB and USA are poles apart in terms of values, attitudes to wealth and success etc. Self made flashy characters like Trump are often lauded in the US as aspirational while we Brits tend to cringe at flash and brash. We're very different from them and probably won't ever fully understand the layers of decision making that brought Trump his victory.
Put simply many new Trump voters are offended that we think we have the right to judge their carefully thought out voting decisions.
