Don’t sweat, America: Our president is a “very stable genius” who is “like, really smart.”
He says so himself.
Deploying an over-the-top offense against those who doubt his mental acuity, President Trump lashed out at critics Saturday in a barrage of boastful tweets.
“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,” he wrote at 7:19 a.m.
“Actually, throughout my life, my two greatest assets have been mental stability and being, like, really smart,” he continued. “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!” he finished at 7:30 a.m.
The self-promoting tweets followed two others, one praising news the country’s African-American unemployment rate had fallen to its lowest rate on record, and another criticizing ABC reporter Brian Ross, who returned to the network after a month-long suspension for an error in a report on Trump’s now disgraced former national security adviser, Michael Flynn.
“The African American unemployment rate fell to 6.8%, the lowest rate in 45 years. I am so happy about this News! And, in the Washington Post (of all places), headline states, ‘Trumps first year jobs numbers were very, very good.’” the President tweeted at 6:49 a.m.
He then slammed Ross, who will now work as an investigative correspondent working on longterm projects. The reporter’s suspension ended this week.
“Brian Ross, the reporter who made a fraudulent live newscast about me that drove the Stock Market down 350 points (billions of dollars), was suspended for a month but is now back at ABC NEWS in a lower capacity. He is no longer allowed to report on Trump. Should have been fired!” Trump tweeted at 6:57 a.m.
Trump tweeted from Camp David just before the start of a second day of meetings with GOP leaders and Cabinet members to hash out the party’s 2018 agenda.
Legislators and staffers had a Friday night sleepover at the rustic presidential retreat, screening “The Greatest Showman,” about P.T. Barnum, the Trumpian 19th-century flimflam man who began the Barnum & Bailey circus.
