President Donald Trump hit back at claims of mental instability calling himself a ‘very stable genius’ and ‘like, really smart.’
In a series of tweets on Saturday morning, Trump went on the defensive against questions raised by a new book that painted a chaotic and dysfunctional picture of his campaign and the early months of his presidency.
‘Actually, throughout my life, my two greatest assets have been mental stability and being, like, really smart,’ Trump tweeted.

In a series of tweets on Saturday, Trump went on the defensive against questions raised by a new book that painted a chaotic and dysfunctional picture of his campaign and early months of his presidency
The commander-in-chief added that although doubts about his mental capacity have been frequently raised by his critics, he proved them wrong with his ‘successful’ career in television and business and his stunning victory in the 2016 election.
‘I think that would qualify as not smart, but genius….and a very stable genius at that!’ he said
Questions surrounding Trump’s competence for office intensified following the release of ‘Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House’ by Michael Wolff, which included shocking claims, including doubts among Trump’s senior aides about his mental fitness in the role of ‘leader of the free world’.
In addition, Trump slammed Democrats and the media on the allegations his campaign colluded with Russia during the presidential election, calling them a ‘total hoax’.

‘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.
This claim comes one day after GOP senators recommended that the author behind a controversial, unverified dossier linking Trump to Russia face a criminal investigation.
