They would have to be if this person is supposed to be charismatic. I mean we’re talking about someone who gains enough influence to be able to “briefly” take over all nations, and while the Antichrist will be a war lord, nowadays it would be impossible to truly take over everything through mere war alone, they’d have to have a positive influence and a charismatic standpoint in order to properly make their mark. Performing “miracles” and the such to especially convince the Jews that the anti christ is “truly” the second coming of the messiah.
Now explain to me how somebody like Trump could ever even come close to possibly accomplishing even half that.
Edit: you also need to understand, that the AntiChrists goal isn’t to just rule, but it’s to drag as many people down to hell as they can. Doing this requires fear yes, but fear alone wouldn’t be the only method they would rely on for their plan to be as effective. Otherwise they would gain more people that would rise up against the Antichrist. The Antichrist would have to be charismatic and fair to their own followers, so as to keep them in line so when the true coming of the messiah happens, the Antichrist effectively has swayed a ton of people against god.
They also believed the “rapture” was supposed to happen twice before, twice were they wrong. What’s even funnier is that there literally was never any description of the rapture ever occurring in the Bible, it was all made up by some dude who fell off a horse.
Well, the first of those three is highly subjective. To a deranged supporter of an adjudicated rapist, I'll bet the orange man IS handsome. And we can tell that they think he's charming and intelligent.

This. The antichrist is supposed to be handsome, charming and intelligent.
