Trump boasts that he’s a ‘very stable genius’ amid questions over his mental fitness

President Trump lashed out at critics Saturday in defense of his mental fitness for office, calling himself a “very stable genius” in a tweetstorm of boasts.

First on Twitter, then at a news conference with Republican leaders at Camp David, Trump defended himself against a new book that cites purported fears from former and current aides that he was unprepared for the presidency, incapable of processing information and uninterested in making difficult decisions.

Citing his success in business and on television, as well as his victory in presidential politics on “my first try,” Trump tweeted that his record “would qualify as not smart, but genius....and a very stable genius at that!” He suggested that the “Fake News Mainstream Media” are trying to smear him by using the “playbook” on President Ronald Reagan, who some believed suffered from mental deterioration due to age in the latter years of his two terms. Reagan was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease after leaving office.

During a news conference at the presidential retreat in Maryland, where Trump and GOP leaders were formulating their 2018 agenda, the president denounced the book’s author, New York media writer Michael Wolff, and a high-profile source, former White House chief strategist Stephen K. Bannon. Trump, whose personal lawyer sent a cease-and-desist letter in an effort to stop publication of “Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House,” has also called for tougher libel laws.

I believe the proper prefix to genius is “effing”

They may think they’re negating or undermining him, but that’s not how human brains work. As a cognitive scientist, I can tell you: repeating his messages only helps him.

How about when people tweet that President Trump is not a GENIUS, totally not a GENIUS, and most certainly not a very stable GENIUS? Does that help him or hurt him while he's, like, GENIUSING?

He totally owns them, through tweets and misdirection.

People don’t remember that they did the same exact thing Ronald Reagan.

MainStream pukes made it a daily thing to catch Mr. Ronnie “cat napping” on the job.

Nothing new here, just libtards using their same old, same old playbook.

Trouble is, boobus Americanus has a 10 second memory.

Again, the coke head whores in the media and in Hollywood who sell themselves for whatever job they can get looking attractive and reading other people’s words, only insult the 31 states that voted for POTUS when they call him names.
They’re attacking us and that doesn’t play very well.

The only questions about the President’s mental fitness come from insane moonbats who are poster children for mental unfitness.

The Democrats are saying that he is mentally unstable and sometimes doesn’t recognize people. If that were true, any of the never Trumpets, especially Linda Graham, would have been calling then press to frantically give examples of crazed behavior they have seen. And there has been nothing. And there is nothing. Zip. Zero. Nada.

Russia didn’t work. The fake dossier didn’t work. And now, this.
