Another very valid reason, for instance, is a having a secret desire for the end of civilization as we know it. Another one is a healthy curiosity to find out how quickly a well developed economy can be destroyed by a demagogue. We already have good examples in less developed nations such as Venezuela under the late Hugo Chávez and Cuba under the barely breathing Fidel Castro. And as we speak, we can see the Philippines flirting with disaster under the direction of President Duterte. All very good and entertaining reasons to support Mr. Trump, especially is you have any type of sociopathic tendencies.
I agree in general with your comment but you made a big mistake using Hugo Chavez as an example. Chavez (along with his Cuban masters) is systematically destroying Venezuela democratic system and imposing a dictatorship. And no, he is no longer pretty much loved.
Again, good comment but poor example.
Chavez will not leave office peacefully, even if he wanted to. You must remember he is protected ans controlled by the cuban security apparatus ( like the G2). Cuba depends on the Chavez regime for an important portion of their oil imports, among many other things.
Also, in a democracy, the president does not enjoys unlimited power, even if the majority of the people agrees with him. He is still bound by the Constitution, the division of powers, and any other laws that may already exist. Chavez has been working for a long time now to destroy this division of powers and in general to subvert the whole system.
By the way, your "full of c**p" comment does not reflect very well on you. You might want to avoid that in the future.
It had an imperfect democracy (as if there was any other kind) from 1958 until recently. Any imperfect democracy is certainly vastly superior to the totalitarian caudillist regime Chavez is trying to impose. I'd like to wake up from this nightmare.
Yes, a tinpot democratically elected president who for 11 years has been subverting all those democratic principles that allowed him to be elected in the first place. This cancer called Chavez has destroyed Venezuela's democratic institutions. His only aim is to stay in power for as long as he can.
I don't think this will end well.

I heard their new motto is "Don't be Evil... unless we can really profit from it!"

It's just a typo. They meant North KOREA, not North Dakota.
Bullshit you say? Please try googling "cuban influence chavez" for a long list of links on this issue.
