I know a horse that can do addition and subtraction problems by knocking one hoof on the ground. That's what I call a stable genius.

You know that kid who runs around, telling everyone how cool he is?
Not cool...

*_"...like, really Smart....Stable Genius..."_*

Man, I miss Obama.

This news would be hilarious if it were a scripted TV show. But...no, it's real life. Those tweets happened. Stable is literally the last word that can be used here.

[kimjongfun]

Trump's idiotic tweets only make George W Bush look like a "very stable genius".

I will never understand how any person can live to be 71-years old and be that stupid. I guess this is a product of never needing to know anything because of being carried along by great wealth. And now, unfortunately, we all look this dumb to the rest of the world for allowing this to continue. Our system sadly no longer works.

How to make Trump really really mad:
"..and I became President of the United States (on my first try)"
-Yeah, so did Obama.
Done.

[darter]

I guess, like his assets, his mental stability is greatly exaggerated on paper

[macnutz]

So, he has zero self awareness. That kind of goes with the narcissism. The more self focused you are the less self awareness you posses. It just works that way. The ego is incapable of making an objective about itself. When ego is all you have, objectivity doesn't exist.

[adamrisch]

Imagine interviewing for a job, any job, and saying that your greatest assets are "mental stability and being, like, really smart". LOL

Got to love it!

How is it possible for one person to contain so much insecurity? How has he not collapsed into a singularity by now?

[monolith]

why are we laughing? This is scary, we should be crying, the president of the united states is this lunatic with ties to Putin and access to nuclar weapons. We shouldn't we laughing, but i am doing it right now.

[jullianaubrey]

I can't help but feel like the entire Trump presidency is one massive troll.

[henrydawkins]

Trump made a big deal about football players not respecting the national anthem but at the Alabama game last night he forgot the words

[dayna]

Please kick this non stable lunatic out of the White House. As an Aussie watching and reading what this embarrassment of a man child is doing it’s making me nervous.

[jexxer]

Trust me, _plenty_ of people were questioning Drumpf's mental stability _long_ before this book came out.

[j.m.murdoch]

When is someone going to tell the president that ellipses contain three dots to indicate an omission or continuation? Three dots! THREE! That drives me batty every single time. Not four, not five, not two, but three!
