Can someone explain why some people who are not American worship Trump?

Poll - Total Votes: 4

I want Trump to be reelected and conquer my country so he can be my ruler too

I like Trump's style and hope he inspires my own leaders to be more like him

I don't actually like Trump. I just hate America and think Trump has the best shot at destroying it

I just like the spectacle and hope Trump is around as long as possible just for the amusement

Something else (explain in comments)

I'm not talking about just liking him. I like Justin Trudeau, but if I read that his house was searched for stolen government documents and that he was suspected of plotting to sell state secrets to Canada's enemies, I wouldn't defend him. So I don't get this weird adulation of Trump. If you're an American, fine, I accept that he has a cult of followers who think he's God in human form, but at least those people live here and can say that they want him to be their leader again. But if you live in another country, where does that worship come from?

Americans can respond but I'm more interested in answers from people outside the U.S.

He’s good, he’s for boosting the economy and making money. If you want socialism first you need cash.

@Ferise1 He didn't boost the economy. He managed to go three years preserving the growth that began under Obama, then tanked the economy in his final year in office. Now almost two years later our economy is starting to recover. Don't confuse the rhetoric with reality.

As for making money, Trump certainly did very well while he was in office and continues to do well now by fleecing his cult. But you haven't explained why some people in other countries worship him.

@LeopoldBloom yes he did

Can you name a president that has been against boosting the economy and making money?
Sorry, this just seems like the most thoughtless, generic endorsement it is possible to give...

@Pikachu yes the demoncrats

No. I want you to think not vomit rhetoric.
I understand that you may be convinced that ALL Democrats have not done well for the economy just as people on the other side of the aisle will point out the failures of Trump and Republicans.

But you said that you like Trump because he is pro economy and making money.
So i ask you again, can you name a president that has been against growing the economy?
Not one you think has failed to achieve that goal but one who has advocated that the economy should be weakened and the country shouldn't make money...because that's the superficial and absurd reason you have given for liking Trump.

Suppress your knee jerk compulsion to simply throw shit at the side with which you disagree and actually stop to consider whether what you're saying actually makes sense.

@Ferise1 False. He rode off the Obama Administration success and tried to gain credit for it.
Only to leave out as a one term President. 🙂

Ferise1 · 46-50, M

@Zonuss yeah sure

Zonuss · 46-50, M

@Ferise1 Yes we know you can't say anything more. You snowflakes never can when presented with truth

LeopoldBloom · M

@Ferise1 He had an overall job loss and lower stock market at the end of his term. How is that "boosting the economy?" It's literally the opposite.

Ferise1 · 46-50, M

@LeopoldBloom not true. Google trump accomplishments
