It seems like you have really come around to Trump's leadership as a president lately. Being a NYer I understood your reasons for not liking him as a person, but I feel like you have to admit it was the best leadership we've had in a long time if not ever. He did or tried to do everything he said he would in his candidacy, and then some. When was the last time that has happened in our lifetimes.....I think we're about the same age....Just under 50 for me.
I am Libertarian, but due to my options when voting, I've always picked a Republican candidate. My favorite president was Ronald Reagan. Since then, I've said that all presidents have pretty much sucked.
In terms of Trump, on an personal level he is simply the typical high-powered developer that we are used to in NYC. He has an arrogance to him, but its always been there, so no surprises. The shit he has done in the past on a social level is pretty dirty (shady business deals, lying about his true wealth, Trump Univ, grabbing pussies without permission etc), but that's always been him. As a NY'er I can appreciate him because he is very old school New York. I did not think he was presidential material based on his shady past and his treatment of people (insulting Asians while answering questions at the White House, no filter, making numerous stupid comments like injecting bleach - ouch), but in over 40 years now I've yet to see a single President that hasn't been shady or questionable with their behavior (Bill practically fucked everyone including Arnold's maid). Is Trump better than Biden? Without question. Roadkill is better than Biden. Do I think Trump did as much as he promised to do during his presidency? No. But then again all of the people that make it to president do so with false promises that never come true. Trump didn't start a war, which was great, but there seemed to be a palpable divide within the nation (Pro-Trumper vs everyone else). We don't need that. We Americans are already assholes all on OUR own.
Who I'd like to see next in the White House? Easy. There are 2 people that I think can do a good job. Rob DeSantis is my first pick. He proved to be an independent thinker when the entire country was blindly following the narrative and seems to be a man of principles, for those reasons he would have my vote. The other candidate I enjoy listening to on occasion and I could "consider" voting for is this handsome woman below:
