Oh my, there are loads of Trump supporters on here--many ironic, but many sincere, too.
As far as issues, I like him on some things (his opposition to Iraq, for example), don't like him on other things (mass deportation, killing terrorists families, banning Muslims from entrance, and many more), but some issues he's just vague on (such as abortion). Mostly, his issue positions seem to just be a matter of random emotion-driven knee-jerk reactions--the exact opposite of "limited government." As Ron Paul basically said, in many ways Trump's the opposite of libertarian.
As far as his persona, I find him ridiculously entertaining, and I do enjoy seeing him tear apart politicians I also dislike. But, he's really an asshole. "Little Marco?" Really? Imagine FDR, JFK, or Reagan saying stuff like that. I've heard he's actually quite nice in private, but if someone I knew acted like that all the time I'd hate that person really fast. He would be a foreign policy hazard, too--I mean, do you really think foreign leaders would take him seriously, or agree with him after he insults them?
I'd never vote for Trump, but that's cheating because I'd also never vote for Cruz, Sanders, Kasich, and definitely never Clinton. That's also why I still have the "Rand" endorsement up on the left, as a placeholder for whatever Libertarian Party candidate I will vote for this November, and a middle finger to the idiotic two-party system that gives us nothing but crap candidates.
