That's the whole problem with him in a nutshell, to be honest. He's an entertainer after all. You can call it what you want but there is a weird sort of charisma mixed in with the narcissism and utter deranged lunacy. That's why he's so dangerously good at appealing to his base and maintaining this cult of personality.

He wasn’t even really an entertainer though. He’s “entertaining” because of how big of a douchbag he is, which is why he got The Apprentice show. I don’t think most people watched that because they thought he was the hero of that story.
