To be clear, he did vote for Trump in 2016, but is registered as an unaffiliated voter, voted in the Democratic primary in 2024, and apparently voted against Trump in 2020, donating to multiple Democratic candidates.
I just want the facts as they stand to not be overshadowed by a meme.
"Democratic candidates" meaning Tulsi Gabbard.
You're correct that he did like Tulsi Gabbard, and that he also announced that Trump would win reelection if he prosecuted police misconduct (something I wouldn't say is very right leaning). He also donated 140 USD to ActBlue (Dem Super Pac I think. Point is, they are a group that supports Dems).
he also wanted to go to Ukraine to fight against Russians apparently. He feels like just a crazy extremist that actually didn't like Trump. I don't know what made him support Trump to begin with when many of what he seemingly wanted don't align with Trump.
