In the region where I live, everybody says that Donald Trump is an idiot. If you ask them 'why do you find Trump an idiot', than they make you a pariah.

It is not 'bon ton' to question the premise that Trump is an idiot, it is not fashionable in Europe.

Would you just avoid talking about it, nod and agree, or engage in debate those people? I find the last option the most fun, but maybe makes me an outcast.

Why, it is not my opinion, I just want to know on how to handle this. Everybody here is brainwashed by the media and spits the same mantra.

It's generally a waste of time to talk about politics and religion with people who disagree with you. However strong or weak either of your arguments are, you're never going to convince them to believe your point of view and they're never going to convince you to believe theirs. The only possible outcome is unnecessarily strained relationships with no gain.

I tried there but it gets overshadowed by current issues in the US.
