You are exactly incorrect.

Charisma is unecessary if you are a dictator. It is only in democracies that a leader requires Charisma because he must motivate with his character, his presentation, his words - where in a dictatorship, the dictator can motivate with his guns.

It's not so much that dictators requires charisma. It's more like there are a lot of dictators with charisma. Also a president's main job isn't to motivate the populace or even congress with his or her charm. It's to protect our liberty.
