As questions about President Trump‘s mental stability became a trending topic across news outlets and social media platforms, Trump took to Twitter to defend himself only to call into question his the state of his apparent troubled mind even more.
“Actually, throughout my life, my two greatest assets have been mental stability and being, like, really smart,” Trump tweeted early Saturday.
He went on to mention his transition from “businessman,” to “top T.V. Star,” to president of the United States as evidence of his “genius.”
“I think that would qualify as not smart, but genius….and a very stable genius at that!” he added.
Now that Russian collusion, after one year of intense study, has proven to be a total hoax on the American public, the Democrats and their lapdogs, the Fake News Mainstream Media, are taking out the old Ronald Reagan playbook and screaming mental stability and intelligence…..

….Actually, throughout my life, my two greatest assets have been mental stability and being, like, really smart. Crooked Hillary Clinton also played these cards very hard and, as everyone knows, went down in flames. I went from VERY successful businessman, to top T.V. Star…..

….to President of the United States (on my first try). I think that would qualify as not smart, but genius….and a very stable genius at that!

After the release of Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House, by author Michael Wolff, questions surrounding Trump’s mental health have continued to intensify. The book even includes doubts about Trump’s mental health from his own staffers and senior aides. Additionally, a report this week said that a group of lawmakers met with a psychiatrist to discuss Trump’s mental health.
Naturally, Trump’s Saturday tweets kicked off a firestorm of mockery on Twitter.

Telling yourself you’re a “genius” is narcissistic. Telling the world on Twitter is flat out embarrassing. Going on to call yourself a “stable genius” is just bonkers. Trump & WH clearly very worried re: Wolff letting cat out of the bag that all in WH think he’s unfit. Scary.

Who else out there is also a very stable genius? Just trying to get a rough head count so I know what we're working with.
