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.
