Is there a reason people want Donald Trump to be president again?

Political post for once, rather unlike me.

Personally I just vote for whoever seems like they'd change the country for the better regardless of what political party they're in. But I still don't understand why Donald Trump is held in such high regard. What has he done in his four years of presidency that was so beneficial and great? I'm really baffled because right now the status of the U.S.A. isn't all to great between all the racism, disease, lack of order, poverty, and various other issues it doesn't seem like anything's gotten better in the last four years. If you support Trump can you please explain why that is.

(I'd like to keep it at a discussion, I welcome debate, but I don't support name calling of anyone who comments.)

I support any conservative candidate, and Trump is conservative. I supported him in 2016 and I will be voting for him in November. Mostly my decisions are based on policy.

Liberals run on telling me how bad my life is and if they just increase taxes for more social programs, my life will be better. This is an untruth but enough people buy into it and they are off. Liberals believe in more gun control, it is clear that when they talk about it, they have no idea what they are talking about, a year ago every democrat was talking about instituting a background check before buying a firearm. "It has to be done for the safety of the American public." Well, there has been a required background check since the 1990s. Abortion, democrats want to talk about saving lives, safety standards for cars, for buildings, etc., abortion has killed over 40 million babies. Democrats/liberals always place the blame on someone else. Before someone is even charged with a crime some liberal is explaining that it isn't this persons fault, it was the way they were raised or because they were on drugs or whatever reason seems to be popular at the moment. Healthcare, Obama tried to take over healthcare with the ACA. Welfare has relieved the sperm donor of any responsibility in raising their offspring. Liberals want more government control, they want to control the population, Bernie Sanders was the only one with enough guts to come right out and say he was a socialist. That is where liberal policy takes a country.

Conservatives tend to want less government interference, less taxation and more being prepared. As a conservative, I don't think abortion should be illegal, but I also don't think the government should be subsidizing abortion in this country and especially other countries. They shouldn't be funding the clinics. Welfare will always be with us as poor people will always be with us. But, the welfare system needs to be cleaned up. It promotes being irresponsible, having children when you have no means to rear them. Cut out the spending on abortion and use some of that money for contraceptives for people who can't control their urges. We have a constitution and conservatives want to follow the constitution. They want people to have personal responsibility. They want people to be held accountable for their actions.

For me, I will always support a conservative before a liberal.
