Pop singer-songwriter Carly Simon, reminiscing about her life in an interview with The Guardian, said she found former President Bill Clinton has “charisma” and “lights up the room with his energy” while when she met Donald Trump in the past he was “all over me like ugly on an ape,” adding, “I thought he was kind of repulsive.”

Simon said of Clinton, “When he’s interested in a subject and he’s talking about it to a woman, there’s a different energy that comes across. He has ‘the glint’ and he can’t help himself. It’s charisma. His face changes. He doesn’t look the same. His energy comes through the expressions of his mouth and his eyes. He lights up a room with his energy.”
