or not. Or perhaps just whether admitting the truth will affect her career. (Have no fear Maggie, if admitting to finding Donnie "charming" in private hasn't hurt you, nothing will.)

However, being "charmed" by someone is a perception, influenced by other perceptions. So, if someone can find Trump charming rather than smarmy, knowing who he is and what he does, I have to question their judgment.

Trump's a snake, not a charmer.
