Trump calls himself "a very stable genius," slams Michael Wolff

[groundloop]

Source: CBS News

In a series of tweets early Saturday, President Donald Trump slammed author Michael Wolff and described himself as "a very stable genius." He also tweeted about "Russian collusion," the "Fake News Mainstream Media" and the unemployment rate for African-Americans, among other topics.

"Michael Wolff is a total loser who made up stories in order to sell this really boring and untruthful book," Mr. Trump tweeted, seemingly referring to "Fire and Fury," Wolff's bombshell expose on the Trump administration. "He used Sloppy Steve Bannon, who cried when he got fired and begged for his job. Now Sloppy Steve has been dumped like a dog by almost everyone. Too bad!"

He later tweeted: "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 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!"

1. Throughout my life, my two greatest assets have been mental stability and being, like, really smart

..... D. Trump

[groundloop]

2. HAH!!!! Yes, that line totally cracked me up.

[Botany]

3. He failed at business many times and he was only a TV star in his own mind.

The man is a loon.

[groundloop]

7. Yep.... anyone who can bankrupt a casino is a super-loser.

Six bankruptcies is a pretty damning track record for someone who claims to know how to run a business. His entire history has been one of failures and cheating people out of what their owed.

[Botany]

8. And he only kept his billionaire lifestyle up thanx to Russian money, money laundering, &

scams such as Trump U.

[Scarsdale]

14. He is so

"like, really smart" that nobody knew about it!! He kept it a secret.

[PatSeg]

16. Yeah, like an eight-year-old

He overstates everything and as a result, just makes himself look more ridiculous. I suppose if you want to know who Donald Trump really is, you'd just go with the polar opposite of everything he says.

[Eliot Rosewater]

29. I wish I could hire a plane to fly around with a banner behind it with this

on it.

He is the single dumbest person to ever have a job where he has authority over another human, let alone all humans.

Unfuckingbelievable, btw, many Americans still worship him

[Botany]

30. How many times did the media let him go unchecked with his "I finished @ the top of my ...

.... class @ Wharton." lie? He was never in Wharton's MBA program and he was @
best in the lower part of his class @ the U. of Penn where he got into after 3.5 years @
Fordham and after Daddy bought him into the school.

But God knows how many times we heard about HRC's emails.

BTW did you see this? https://www.democraticunderground.com/100210064912
The media knew about Trump/Russia and didn't say shit.

[Eliot Rosewater]

32. I understand this media thing, hate it but understand it

Bush sr was outed by Rather and the war against truth was ramped up then

also



Journalists are educated, mature, worldly etc, therefore by definition they tend to lean liberal. Liberal means open minded, smart, etc.

So journalists believe they have to put 3 cons on for one dem, for example, and that they cant apply the same standards to both, etc.

It is OUR fault, the country, we demand full attention when reciting some patriotic loyalty oath but we dont demand following the law or constitution, we demand respect for BOTH sides even when one side are outright criminals.

It is also too late to fix this.

[Botany]

33. The end of the fairness doctrine and the rise of hate talk and fox news has poisoned many minds ...

.... to the point that there is no fixing them.

"It is also too late to fix this." Sad but true for millions of Americans.

We should spend one second of time or one dime trying to reach these people.

Did you know that Barack Obama was going to bring Hamas fighters into
America w/the help of the UN so he could take everybody's guns and
get a third term? I was told that gem by somebody I had to work around
so all I could say was, "Oh, I didn't know that."

Trump is counting on his idiot base to keep him in power.

[Eliot Rosewater]

34. I remember the woman in a store I ran into who was certain Hillary was

involved in child sex trafficking.

The experiment may be over. To be successful going forward requires all citizens be patriots, turns out half of us simply are not.

[Cold War Spook]

39. When did Trump become a valley girl?

Does he, like, go to the mall you know and ,like, shop with his friends?

[Ligyron]

4. No you're not.

Not according to like, everyone who has ever known you.

And like, you just proved it.

[Botany]

5. Not only is he smart but he is stable too.

Link to tweet

[Ligyron]

9. Yup, he's in a stable state of instability.

What a child he is.

[Botany]

10. #Don Fredo I'm Smart

[winstars]

21. Jeeze, I have sent this scene 2 dozen times in the last year. And every time I (we) use it, its true

I actually have this clip in my favorites on my iPhone because of the "person" in the White House…


Great minds think alike!

[Botany]

23. Joy Reid showed it on her show this AM

[winstars]

24. Well, like I said great minds think alike. very cool company to be in...

[Botany]

25. I'm pretty sure Joy or somebody on her staff reads DU

Joy and or Joy's friend

BTW by the time I posted that Fredo clip @ 8:50 AM it had already been posted on DU.

It just seemed so correct.

[machoneman]

6. Wolff has REALLY gotten to Trump's psyche....

if he has to defend himself with this ludicrous tweet!

What's really great is the the book has Trump now fighting on many more fronts. Inter-family, his WH staff, the Cabinet members, Bannon and Wolff, the media, we Democrats, GOP'ers who fight his policies and more!

God, I love the fact that his fat head is spinning harder than the demon-gal from the Exorcist!

[Ligyron]

11. He truly doesn't know who to trust now.

Paranoia strikes deep, even Javanka is suspect now.

Things are going to get really interesting really soon.

[Xipe Totec]

12. Trump's Tweets are the cyber equivalent of bathroom graffiti. nt

[SummerSnow]

27. In high school I saw some very creative bathroom graffiti. lol

Not smart but creative crazy.

[truthisfreedom]

13. He went from bankrupt to tv joke to most mentally monitored and

managed least popular least healthy President in history, who lost the popular vote by the largest margin in history.

[Calista241]

15. unlike most here, i don't think he's an idiot.

Nobody has worked as hard and as long as hard, and been even partially successful, is a total moron.

I think he's more of a narcissistic, self absorbed asshole.

I'm also concerned that he's a marketing genius, and is going to mellow in 2018 and 2019. Perhaps he'll even have a significant program to attract African Americans voters. Like legalizing marijuana, decriminalizing other drugs, and prison reform. So yeah, some will not fall for it, but unless we have a great candidate and a great message, he very well could win re-election.

[groundloop]

18. I agree that he's been good at marketing

On most other fronts he's horrible. He certainly doesn't know how to run a business (6 bankruptcies), and has only been buoyed by Russian loans. At this point I don't see how he could possibly recover his image enough to win another election, but your point is well taken that we need to go after the next elections like our lives depend on them.

[Dave Starsky]

36. He's NOT good at marketing. He sells himself to dumbfucks.

That doesn't take any skill. That just takes unmitigated gall, which he has in spades.

No one with an above-room-temperature IQ has ever bought his bullshit.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

20. If he was capable of mellowing, hed had done it after he clinched the GOP nomination

He could have possibly won the popular vote that way.

He didn’t mellow then, nor did he mellow after the election, nor did he mellow after the inauguration.

It’s not going to happen. He is who he is.

[winstars]

22. Here's what Woody Allen said about mellowing in Annie Hall.

“I don't respond well to mellow, you know what I mean, I have a tendency to... if I get too mellow, I ripen and then rot.”
―Woody Allen

[Skittles]

37. bullshit

he's been trading on his name and has been propped up by Russia

and by the way, black folk are interested in issues other than drugs and prison

[bucolic_frolic]

17. Don't break your arm patting yourself on the back, Donnie

You human scum

[left-of-center2012]

19. The horse is out of the stable !

[Siwsan]

26. He's not even a stable genius when compared to what covers the floor of a stable!

Or perhaps I have misinterpreted.......

[Sneederbunk]

28. Not The Donald but The Dotard.

[area51]

31. So, Donny,

if the book is all lies, why did you instruct your lawyers to threaten the publisher to stop publication?

[YvonneCa]

40. ...

https://m.

[weissmam]

35. If he is such a fucking genus how come

every one of his business went bankrupt - even casinos , think about what it takes to loose money in that business

[inanna]

38. I can only shake my head in bewilderment. WTF?!
