Trump rejects accusations in critical book, describes self as 'stable genius'

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/trump-rejects-accusations-in-critical-book-describes-self-as-stable-genius/ar-BBHW1NH?li=BBnb7Kz


LONDON — 'U.S. President Donald Trump described himself on Saturday as a “very stable genius,” following the publication of a highly critical book that questioned his ability to do the job.

“Actually, throughout my life, my two greatest assets have been mental stability and being, like, really smart,” Trump said on Twitter.

“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 added.

Michael Wolff’s book, “Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House,” was an instant bestseller on Friday. The book, dismissed by Trump as full of lies, depicts a chaotic White House, a president who was ill-prepared to win the office in 2016, and Trump aides who scorned his abilities."

Has any mental case ever been self aware enough to realize if they were krazy?

nothing else is chirping.

Correct. You've got nothing. Trump's words show he is a vainglorious prickwad. C'est La Vie...

It was you who commented, "Crickets". Do you have anything to offer except for impertinance?

I love the fact that he had the opportunity to review these statements to make sure he comes off as a “genius”, and this is what he went with.

Have you ever heard anyone sober say, "I am not drunk"?

Have you ever heard a smart person say, "I am a genius"?

Have you ever heard a stable person say, "I am stable"?

Me neither...

He's cleverly mocking his detractors, such as yourself. As usual, it went right over your head without leaving a mark.

Actually what Trumps himself said is a qoute which fits right in with all the rest of the self agrandizing vain glorious insecure delusions of grandeur we all regularly hear from Olde Short Fingers, Donald of Trump. There is no reason to believe he did not say it and was not being serious. This article is about what Trumps thinks about himself and has said repeatedly. Nothing new but just more of the same false grace we have come to expect from The King of Vulgaria...

You have to feel sorry for those who are ideologically required to defend Trump on days like this.

Sounds like he was channeling obama:

“I know more about policies on any particular issue than my policy directors

 I’m a better political director than my political director

im a better speechwriter than my speechwriters.

etc

Not to Barrack Obama there isn’t.  However, Obama knows that the number of citizens who would actually say something so stupid is exceedingly small.

How so? Obama is self aware, self depricating and genuine. Trump is the polar opposite of those things...

Sure. Claiming you know more on  a subject then someone whose spent their lives specializing in it is the definition of self deprecating. And not just one subject. Obama claimed to know than all of his policy advisors did on their specific subject areas of expertise.

Is Obama daily Tweeting on Twitter expounding ou his intelligence or his mental stabili

Obama is not the subject although it should be noted that despite being out of office and both the House and the Senate being controlled by hostile goppers the Obama administration has suffered exactly zero indictments by any grand juries anywhere and everyone knows a good prosecutor somewhere would have gotten an indictments if indictments were to be had. A good prosecutor can indict a ham sandwitch. In any case it is as Jeff Sessions said, "It requires credible evidence of a crime to indict". Despite dozens of gop lead investigations not one, ZERO, Obama campaign or administration officials have ever been indicted for malfeaseance. Not a one. Deal with it...

What is Trump's approval rating? Hovering around 30%. Does half of American support him? No...

Evidence to the contrary:

“Look, having nuclear — my uncle was a great professor and scientist and engineer, Dr. John Trump at MIT; good genes, very good genes, OK, very smart, the Wharton School of Finance, very good, very smart — you know, if you’re a conservative Republican, if I were a liberal, if, like, OK, if I ran as a liberal Democrat, they would say I’m one of the smartest people anywhere in the world — it’s true! — but when you’re a conservative Republican they try — oh, do they do a number — that’s why I always start off: Went to Wharton, was a good student, went there, went there, did this, built a fortune — you know I have to give my like credentials all the time, because we’re a little disadvantaged — but you look at the nuclear deal, the thing that really bothers me — it would have been so easy, and it’s not as important as these lives are — nuclear is powerful; my uncle explained that to me many, many years ago, the power and that was 35 years ago; he would explain the power of what’s going to happen and he was right, who would have thought? — but when you look at what’s going on with the four prisoners — now it used to be three, now it’s four — but when it was three and even now, I would have said it’s all in the messenger; fellas, and it is fellas because, you know, they don’t, they haven’t figured that the women are smarter right now than the men, so, you know, it’s gonna take them about another 150 years — but the Persians are great negotiators, the Iranians are great negotiators, so, and they, they just killed, they just killed us.”

Since you don't believe in government it is no surprise that you have no standards for the leaders of government to adhere to. But why are you always ragging on Clinton?Trump is without doubt a bigger crook than she ever was.

Get out of the way and let me earn for my family!

We all want to do well for ourselves and our families. I am sure there were some who thrived economically in German during the late 1930's. Times were good after WWI and the depression.

How did that work out? I did well during Nixon's administration. Didn't mean things were okay?

The topic is Trump's lame comments about his own sanity and fitness to hold high public office.

The damn gop surely did not stand for lawlessness regarding either the Clintons nor Obama...
