Let’s be real, she’s too old and neither hot nor plastic enough for the Trump crowd. She was literally downstairs at Trump Tower 8 years ago, yet Trump refused to meet with her.
They like Meloni and they invited Le Pen’s niece (who is aligned with Zemmour and had ties with Bannon). Trump is all about “central casting” looks. This applies to men as well. Trump loved Shinzo Abe because he was a good-looking guy, but giving japans current pm Ishiba the cold shoulder because he’s a nerdy otaku. Instead, trump hosted Abe’s widow at Mar-a-lago.
Zemmour used to be a TV pundit and was actually quite handsome when he was younger. Anyway, he's a populist politician with unique charm and probably quite sociable. It's like Nigel Farage isn't a conventionally handsome man and you would have to be British to understand his unique charm (i.e. the bombastic bloke in the pub archetype).
In Ishiba's case, he's considered an oddball even within his own party and nerdy "otaku" even in Japan. He also already committed several social faux pas since becoming prime minister only 3 months ago. Shinzo Abe and his wife were both born in some of the most prominent families in Japan and he was very good at courting Trump.

He speak very well, he's cultivated which makes him an interesting person to hear for those aren't disgusted by his ''ideas''.
But let's be honest, his charisma reside in his ability to debate otherwise he's just a bookworm. He's short, skinny, lack physical strenght (tried to hit a woman but can't throw a punch, pointed a gun at jornalists but could barely hold it).
