Trump is pretty easy to criticize, and whilst IMO all the criticism is deserved, despite the surface theater and pyrotechnics, not much has changed under his rule. Endless wars, bloated defense spending, desertion of the working class, growing inequality, wage stagnation, diabolical healthcare system, weakening of environmental protections, increasing surveillance and police state conditions for US citizens, and many others are byproducts of a 2 party system that has been wholly captured by the donor class for decades. 

In a counterintuitive way I "like" Trump, because he clearly doesn't care about surface niceties. He represents the ugliness and brutality of an unconstrained capitalism, capitalism in its purest state. Everything is transactional, everything is for sale, and laws, protections, future negative outcomes, people etc. be damned.
