I have family who truly believe Trump to be a genius. But everytime, and I do mean everytime I hear him speak he comes off as a senile idiot.

I wish I understood what spell he has people under.

He just speaks with certainty, and since some people truly know nothing (and not in the wise, Socratic way, lol) and have never used their brains in earnest, they believe it. Maybe they like his humour too (not a good reason to pick a leader but, again, people are moronic and basically brain-dead in the States). Maybe they like he's racist and cheeky about it, in a very aspirational way.

Have you tried turning off Right Wing Media, sitting down with your family, and hitting them?

What stick size do you recommend?

A 7 iron works best

Whoa, don't do this ...you will hurt your hands. Get yourself a nice thick hose. You want it thick enough to be able to swing easily but not so thick that it will break bones. That'll hurt them but not you and you'll have lots of energy to keep swinging.

No, no, no. What you do is lead them outside to the nearest tree and have them pick out a switch from the tree and then you take it and repeatedly smack them with it. If they continue to speak in favor of their idiot, then you resort to washing their mouths out with soap.

everytime

Not a word, my dude.

Having said that, I admit I can no longer watch Mr Trump do anything. I feel I'm growing dumber just by sharing in the experience. I'm not a smart man, and I can't spend non-renuable brain cells on watching that man. I just can't spare the cells.

Y'all'dn't've led with that, could've just started from "I'm not a smart man". Now everyone knows you made 10k comments in one year AND you're a pedant.
