It’s hard to understand the fascination.
Despite all the criticism of Trump's New York Style and his choices to head government agencies and cabinet members Trump was a success. Let's go down the Trump memory hole and review the Obama/Biden/Hillary impediments and Trump's successes.
To begin with there was the Hillary inspired Russia, Russia, Russia Hoax that was known to and thereby approved by the Obama/Biden Administration. Think about that, a previous POTUS purposely set out to obstruct an incoming administration. That has never happened in American history. This was unimaginable just 8 years ago.
Was Trump wrong March 2017, when he accused the Obama/Biden Administration of spying on him? No he was not, but who believed him? He was not being outrageous or narcissistic. Trump was accurate and told the truth. Don't forget Governor DeSantis was Congressman DeSantis. What did Congressman DeSantis do about all that Hillary/Obama crap from 2012 thru 2018? FYI, DeSantis chaired the Subcommittee on National Security (remember Benghazi?) and served on the Foreign Affairs (Hello Benghazi!!!) and Judiciary Committees.
Then there were the two Impeachments 1 and 2 and finally the Special Prosecutor Investigation. Impeachment 2 - Trump gets impeached for one phone call with Zelenskyy while Biden's family made millions off of Ukraine's corrupt company Burisma. Simply unbelievable!
Despite the despicable, malicious, and the bullying behavior of Obama, Biden and Hillary and the anemic RINO response, which recent POTUS was as successful as Trump?
Look at what Trump accomplished in 4 years for the majority of Americans:
The gas price per gallon was about $2.30 vs $3.30 under Biden.
Inflation was about 1.4%, mortgage rates were half of what they are now.
Unemployment was low before Covid and before Blue Governors shut everything down and we were in the midst of a V-shaped recovery until January 22, 2021.
Tax decrease - tax laws promoted small businesses as well as large.
US enjoyed energy independence - No Green Agenda, no war on energy, No Paris Treaty.
No war in Ukraine, no threat of nuclear war, NATO paid its way.
China was quiet and we were winning the trade war.
US companies were bringing home well paying jobs due to well executed tax treatments.
There was peace in the Middle East, aka Abraham Accords; the US Embassy moved to Jerusalem; and Iran was isolated. Remember Trump's audacious assassination of Iran's Qassem Soleimani? How about Trump destroying Isis in just a matter on months? Trump handled Syria and Russia elegantly.
Trump got three non-left “I don't know what a woman is” Supreme Court Justices on the bench allowing Roe vs Wade to be overturned.
Trump had an excellent Economic Team and the US enjoyed a AAA+ rating that Biden’s Team destroyed in 2+ years:

They were brilliant! And do not forget Wilbur Ross.

Funny how Russia was quiet during the Trump Administration. There was no Russian invasion of Ukraine until Biden took over. Why was that?
I hope you remember this:

This was a very memorable and strategic event early into Trump's Administration:

The above is why Putin behaved himself during the Trump Administration. Putin invaded the Ukraine under Biden just like he did under Obama when he claimed Crimea.
Who the heck can accomplish the above in four years while being impeached twice and investigated by the Obama/Biden Weaponized Agencies? Again, talk about “bullying”! Please, spare me!
Trump received 11 million more votes in 2020 over 2016. Never has a sitting President lost when receiving more votes in his reelection bid. Trump increased his vote total by 17+%. Trump can claim victory in 17 of the 18 bellwether counties but still “lost” according to the Dems/MSM?
Do you really believe that Bumbling Biden received 15 million more votes than Hillary? That is an amazing and unbelievable 23% increase in votes for Bumbling Biden than Hillary. The election was blatantly in your face stolen.
Face it, Trump did one hell of a job.
Yes he did. Great post!!
Of course I would vote for Trump if he is the last conservative on the ballot and does not have prison stripes on him. I just believe in freedom to vote and I think DeSantis has made bold conservative decisions in Florida. I’m tired of the the drama, the disloyalty, the name-calling and the juvenile behavior of an otherwise good policy performance. I do believe Trump’s reckless spending during covid helped set up our inflation. The present idiot in the white house made it worse.
Regarding Trump and Covid spending:

When Biden signed Pelosi’s spending bill in early 2021, I called my moron Congressman and asked if they did a study on how inflation would be impacted once they strangled the labor market (you pay people not to work, people will not work. But they will spend their free money increasing demand and hampering the supply chain because you are short workers). He had no freaking idea. Those 2021 spending bills (Infrastructure and Green Energy boondoggle) restricted supply and increased demand which spells INFLATION.
Trump signed bills that increased the private sector's income and increased supply i.e. energy independence. Biden did the exact opposite the very first day he was in office. Remember the nixing of the Key Stone pipeline? The Paris Treaty? Spending billions on Green Infrastructure? All that put kabahes on supplies while heating up the economy. Inflation.
