I think...it's one thing to be in the outside looking in, like it's a marvel at some sort of "See-It-To-Believe-It" sideshow. And then having to deal with the reality of that actually happening for the next four years, come November, when it affects us Americans. But hey, just his stance on tariffs alone, will surely so well for the United States, I mean look at what Herbert Hoover did, he was a great President? Nevermind those 'Hoovervilles' and 'Hoover-flags'. And like, don't think it won't effect anyone else; the Great Depression isn't only in regards to the United States of America. Granted, he's a gifted businessman. A President? Cant' see it, tbh.

It's not as if I, or many other other international observers, are merely looking at the US Presidential election for the fun of it. The US, for better or worse, is seen as the leader of the free world and the pinnacle of democracy. Trump will restore a degree of strength and prestige to the US, after Obama has effectively capitulated to every conceivable corner of the globe since '08. The US is a force for good in the world, and Crooked Hillary will continue to trash it's international reputation (much to the detriment of those living elsewhere in the world).

You need to understand he's a populist, he's going to say things that he may or may not succeed in achieving at a later date. I support him because he doesn't follow along with the establishment, media-driven PC sensitive narrative that everything is 'racist' and a 'microagression'. America needs to wake up and stop being so soft, and Trump embodies that brilliantly. Look, he's not the perfect candidate (protectionism is one area where I disagree with him), but he's better than the alternative - a lying criminal who at every opportunity declares that she's 'a woman!' and that somehow makes her deserving of the nation's highest office.

Plus, building a wall (enforcing existing US law), curbing immigration etc. are fairly reasonable policies. He's not exactly a neocon, rather a New York moderate.
