Donald Trump has, by almost any measure, been the worst president in U.S. history, or at least within the memory of people living in 2020.
But for some reason, he has remained popular with a sizable segment of Americans. While Joe Biden defeated him in the presidential election, 74 million Americans voted for Trump, and a large percentage of Republicans, like Trump himself, are denying that he actually lost the election.
So why do Trump’s diehard fans stay that way?Yes, he’s made some people happy with his tax cuts and appointments of right-wing judges, and he is beloved by white supremacists and conspiracy theorists, but he has downplayed a pandemic that has taken the lives of more than 276,000 Americans and caused an economic crash.
