Trump’s a genius, just ask him

-

US PRESIDENT Donald Trump has lashed out at critics questionin­g his mental stability in a series of tweets – declaring himself a “genius.”

Mr Trump was responding to suggestion­s in Michael Wolff’s explosive new book Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House, which questions his mental stability.

“Now the 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,” Mr Trump wrote.

“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 TV star to President of the US (on my first try). I think that would qualify as not smart, but genius ... and a very stable genius at that!

“Then I hear this guy, who doesn’t know me, says he interviewe­d me for three hours in the White House but that didn’t happen,” he said.
