The thing about Trump is that he pretty much is what he says he is, and did what he said he would do. This is much different than expecting him to do what the right or left wing conspiracies said he would do, be it starting WWIII with (or for? It always was fluid) Russia or bringing National Sociaism to the USA as the next Hitler or locking up everyone in DC and being some sort of super hero working with "the good guys"...
Overall, by policy and actions, not words and hype, Trump was a moderate and slightly to the left of Bill Clinton on most every issue he worked on. (Though media on both sides will obfuscate and deny this fact.)
He is also arrogant, boastful, egotistical and thoroughly mid-brow intellectually. An example being his fast food banquet... I beleive it was totally sincere... the fast food companies are the largest and most profitable restaurant chains in the world, and 100% American (garbage culture imo). So, to him, they won the market and therefore they are the best.
His good points were that he genuinely does support the idea of America, and that America is better than anywhere else. He was not tied to GOP dogma on economic issues or gay marriage crap but did support a free market system and was 100% correct about needing to reshore our manufacturing and achieve energy independence. If Biden had left nothing but Trump's energy policy in place, the US would currently be in an economic boom as the sole supplier of energy to Europe.
Of course, Putin never would have invaded Ukraine if our energy policy had stayed the same... that is the entire truth of what enabled his invasion.
I don't doubt that he won the election if it had not been corrupted. And I also don't doubt that he would lose if he runs again, which is what the Democrats are hoping for.
DeSantis, despite faults, is the only real choice for president. Trump is over and needs to simply use his influence with the conservative base to push issues as essentially the new Roger Ailes. But he is to vain and stupid to realize this.
