I see him, and my first thought is "this is a conman, a grifter"

You know what I wonder?

I wonder what kind of people his congregation are like

What kind of feeble, weak-minded person does it take to see someone like him, and say "yeah I want to attend his church and have him be my pastor", as opposed to virtually every other church in the city?

You say this as if it's rare and strange for a religious leader to be flamboyant and larger than life to attract people searching for meaning. The prosperity gospel in particular is incredibly popular in this country. People are attracted to him because they think God will make them rich.
