I see and have heard this term used to describe people but I never really understood what it meant. What characteristics makes someone very fine?

It may have a different meaning in the right wing frum community, but when my friends say someone is fine, they mean he's very handsome, or hot.

Yes, that's what it means - they mean refined - almost elegant. Definitely not "hot".

When the president says it, it means he's Putin, or a Nazi.

If it is used in the context of "feinkeit" it means refined. eg she is a very fine person - it is really yidish not english fein
