'Dimwit': Trump proudly boasts he is a 'very stable genius' and the internet couldn't stop laughing
The internet immediately unleashed a torrent of merciless mocking, jokes and jeers over Trump's series of tweets.
US President Donald Trump took to Twitter to defend his mental fitness for office saying he is "like, really smart" and a "very stable genius". The internet immediately erupted into peels of giggles over the president's "ridiculous" defense, unleashing a torrent of merciless mocking, jokes and jeers.
Trump's remarks came in response to serious questions raised over his mental health and capacity to carry out his presidential duties in Michael Wolff's new book, Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House.
The recently released tell-all has dominated headlines with its sensational anecdotes and claims that paint an unflattering, dysfunctional portrait of Trump's campaign, his closest aides and the first few months of his presidency.
"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," Trump tweeted.
"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 United States (on my first try). I think that would qualify as not smart, but genius....and a very stable genius at that!"
The internet, however, was all but convinced by Trump's assertion and proceeded to mercilessly mock the president for it.
"This is the funniest thing I've ever read in my entire life," one Twitter user wrote.
Congressman Dan Kildee tweeted, "Trump saying he's a 'very stable genius' is like Nixon saying 'I'm not a crook.'"
"The tweet confirms what the book says about Sweet Potato Hitler," comedian Chris Titus added. "What is the quote? 'Better to not talk, people may think you're stupid, but it's better than opening your mouth and proving you are'."
"When I grow up I want to be a very stable genius," one person joked.

Ragetweeting at 7am from the White House about how, like, really smart you are may not be the best strategy for allaying concerns about your mental health.

Better to be thought a fool and remain silent than to speak out and prove it beyond all doubt.

When Trump tweeted “I am a very stable genius“ this morning the 25th Amendment literally jumped out of the Constitution.

I'm glad Trump let us know he is a stable genius because this tweet makes him look absolutely insane. pic.twitter.com/rz67NBmPMB

Trump' s audacity in labeling himself a genius once again flies in the face of any notion of humility that most leaders strive for.

Congratulations, sir! This dignified, statesman-like tweet is the perfect way to counter the book's narrative that you're an impulsive, childish dimwit. https://t.co/VW1uzqu5pr

Was just thinking since Trump is a very stable genius who went to the best college he should prove it by releasing his college transcripts, as he repeatedly called on Obama to do

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't ever remember Obama making a public statement in order to assure the public that he was mentally stable, or to brag that he was "like, really smart".
