41. I don't understand how it could possibly be charisma

IMHO it's much more likely Kompromat.
He could only be charming to those who are already obscenely wealthy, and jealous of keeping it.
He's only attractive to people who want to emulate his lawless and responsibility-shirking ways.
Utter degenerate, despicable, deplorable, and many other non-charismatic adjectives apply.
How can so many people be attracted to that?
