Step past your hatred of the guy and look for some nuance my friend.
The person I spoke with didn’t like Trump, but admired Trump’s sharp mind and strategic brain that could out-think a lot of very smart people. Their belief was that Trump is sharp as a tack but just pretends to be an idiot so people underestimate him.
Being the smartest guy in the room, being able to come to a negotiation and sweep the board when nobody sees it coming is never a bad quality for a President. THAT is what they respected-- the ability to do that to a bunch of very smart people.

That’s called being a narcissistic conman, and is not a sign of intelligence, only a sign of lack of empathy and morals.
The fact he got taken in makes him an idiot.
So the guy sees Trump do some underhanded stuff to screw people over and thought “that’s what I want to lead my country”
