Trump labels self ‘A stable Genius’ via tweet
US President Trump, in an extraordinary defense of his mental capacity and fitness for office, described himself on Saturday as a “genius” and “a very stable genius at that.”
In a series of posts on popular micro blogging site twitter, that seemed to respond to revelations in a new book, Trump defended himself by charting his rise to the presidency, saying one of his chief assets throughout his life was “being, like, really smart.”
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!

Although Trump seemed to imply that the questions about Reagan’s health were political smears, Reagan died of complications related to Alzheimer’s disease and there is speculation that that its early stages could have afflicted him in office. Reagan’s son, Ron, wrote in 2011 that he noticed “something was amiss” with his father while he was still in the White House, and even some Reagan aides contemplated the possibility of invoking the 25th amendment to the Constitution, which allows for the removal of a president who shows a lack of competency.
