The United States President Donald Trump, in a public defence of his histrionics, went on a Twitter spree, branding himself a “very stable genius.” But, that was not what broke the Net. It was the President writing in his second of the three tweets, “Actually, throughout my life, my two greatest assets have been mental stability and being, like, really smart.”
The catchword, “Being, like, really smart” caught the imagination of the world like fire. Trolls jumped into the fray and had a field day over the President’s choice of words to describe himself.
The spate of Tweets are a part of a whole lot of them that the President has been sending out to discredit a new book, ‘Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House’ by Michael Wolff.
If anything, it has only made the book more popular among the nitizens who are sharing the voice and PDF versions of the book over social media platforms and on messengers.
The US Administration had earlier tried its best to stop the publication of the book but, it is out and garnering a whole lot of publicity on news channels.
The book includes depictions which paint Trump as uninformed, at times an erratic and at others, a childish president.
In his latest three-tweet series, Trump has grabbed eyeballs of the public by declaring himself, ‘smart’ and a ‘genius’.
“Actually,” the president said, “throughout my life, my two greatest assets have been mental stability and being, like, really smart.”
“I think that would qualify as not smart, but genius….and a very stable genius at that!” he said.
The president also touted his party’s stunning victory in the 2016 presidential election that made him the President – calling it a personal victory though he had actually lost the personal election to Hillary – and his career in television and business.
“I went from VERY successful businessman, to top T.V. Star….. ….to President of the United States (on my first try),”Trump wrote.
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…..

Following the release of the book and its extracts to the public, the White House Press Secretary, Sarah Huckabee Sanders was asked about Trump’s fitness to serve at press briefings two days in a row this week.
Hitting back at the questions, Sanders went on TV and said, what “is really mentally unstable is people that don’t see the positive impact that this president is having on the country.”
“It’s absolutely outrageous to make these types of accusations and it’s simply untrue, and it’s sad that people are going and making these desperate attempts to attack the president,” she added.
The president had, earlier, Tweeted that he gave Wolff “zero access” to the White House for the book. Wolff, hit back at the president, by saying that his credibility was being questioned by a man who has “less credibility than anyone who walks on Earth.” The author also scoffed at Trump’s credibility.

The White House, however, said that Trump never sat down with Wolff.
Trump’s lawyers had tried to block publication of the book, however, the book has now gone on sale.
