he problem is Trump is also taking on American problems like the border, immigration, trade, crime and government bureaucracy that many voters feel have been ignored and mismanaged for years.
So even people who dislike his personality, rhetoric, methods or even ethics may still support him because they believe he is at least confronting issues other politicians have either downplayed or endlessly talked about doing nothing.

And Mussolini made the trains run on time. Your defense of Trump is the same tired defense that has been used to defend fascists regimes time and again.
And here's the thing...those things you say he is taking on are the things he keeps getting blocked from doing because he's using illegal methods. His illegal tariffs stole hundreds of billions of dollars from Americans while ushering in a downturn in US based manufacturing that has resulted in the loss of over 100K factory jobs despite his claim that tariffs would bring about a golden age. Many of his illegal "DOGE" firings had to be reversed. The savings he promised never materialized. How many people have his ICE brownshirts murdered now? We don't even have a way to know because ICE has been caught covering up their involvement in some of the killings? The only thing he's done on crime is firing or causing the resignations of thousands of justice department employees who have either not been replaced or have been replaced with incompetent sycophants. This has resulted in 10's of thousands of federal investigations having to be dropped and countless more that will never been initiated. We've also seen a steep drop off in successful federal prosecutions. White collar prosecutions are nearly non-existent under Trump and gun and drug prosecutions are nearly as rare with some sources reporting they are down by half to as much as 90% in some states.
