As Trump Exits NATO Summit: "I'm A Very Stable Genius"

Donald Trump holds press event as he departs NATO summit

Although he has not held a proper press conference in over a year on American soil, as Donald Trump departed the NATO summit in Brussels, he took questions from reporters for over half an hour.

Along the way he reiterated that Russian President Vladimir Putin is not an enemy, dismissed concerns of protests during his visit to Britain, and claimed the other NATO allies had agreed to up their defense spending thanks to his requests to do so.

At one point, a journalist asked, “We understand your message, but some people ask themselves, will you be tweeting differently once you board the Air Force One?”

Trump responded, “No, that’s other people that do that I don’t. I’m very consistent. I am a very stable genius.”

In front of the whole world. Jesus.

Watch below.

Donald Trump is asked whether he'll be saying one thing at NATO and tweeting another after he departs.

The president says he won't, adding: "I'm a very stable genius." https://t.co/nFDJtEndRK pic.twitter.com/hh2KDHAMJY

'Everybody in the room thanked me. They thanked me a lot. I have made Nato stronger. I'm a very stable genius'. The narcissism of the US President at the Nato summit

Hahahahahaha Hahahahahaha Hahahahahaha!

He really REALLY did say “I’m a very stable genius” at the NATO summit.

Poor America. Too embarrassing. https://t.co/tPPsdlqCUv

It was all on display folks. Trump insanity. "Very stable Genius" is so laughable. He causes a problem, changes his mind and says "I alone fixed it". Like with families on the border. I expect to see him wheel out his dead Mom like in Psycho "I alone can keep his mommy with him".

Poll: Americans Are Split On Whether Trump Is Mentally Stable Or Not

This surely isn't how Donald Trump envisioned beginning his second year in the White House.

A new poll from ABC News/Washington Post shows substanially more Americans give President Obama the credit for the ongoing positive economic situation.

Specifically, only 38% of those polled say today's economic conditions are a "great deal/good amount" a result of Trump's efforts,  while 50% say Obama gets the credit.

Additionally, the country is split on whether or not Trump is mentally stable - 48% say he is, 47% say no.

And though Trump tells us all he has "the best brain," 73% of Americans don't think he's a genius; a small 21% agree with the Trumpster on that one, though.

Donald Trump Attacks His Own Administration's Position On FISA, Then Flip-Flops Back

This morning, during Donald Trump's "Executive Time," the man who says he has no time to watch TV because he's reading "documents" was clearly watching a report on Fox News about a Congressional vote to reauthorize FISA, the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act.

In a kneejerk reaction, Trump let the world know that he doesn't understand what the law does.

Note - FISA is used for the collection of foreign intelligence against a non-U.S. person overseas.

Moments after Fox's report aired, Trump shared this tweet:

“House votes on controversial FISA ACT today.” This is the act that may have been used, with the help of the discredited and phony Dossier, to so badly surveil and abuse the Trump Campaign by the previous administration and others?

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 11, 2018

The dossier he's referring to is the series of memos compiled by former MI6 British spy Christopher Steele, a Russian expert, for Fusion GPS.

It's important to note that, despite the Donald's protestations, much of it has been corroborated, and none of it has been officially debunked.

In any case, the problem with Trump's tweet is his administration actually SUPPORTS the reauthorization of the FISA Act.

So, flippity-flop, a short time later, Trump tried to get back on the right side of his own policy:

With that being said, I have personally directed the fix to the unmasking process since taking office and today’s vote is about foreign surveillance of foreign bad guys on foreign land. We need it! Get smart!

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 11, 2018

Remember folks, this is a self-proclaimed "very stable genius."

Trump sent this tweet because someone in the White House finally told him that his previous tweet attacked a bill that he officially supports. Nothing says ‘Very Stable Genius’ like attacking your favored legislation and then...praising it an hour later. https://t.co/iZKgHS5wZw

— Brian Klaas (@brianklaas) January 11, 2018

So Fox News gets Trump to reverse an official WH position on pending critical national security legislation then the WH scrambles to get Trump to reverse the reversal an hour later. Stable genius indeed

— Adam Blickstein (@AdamBlickstein) January 11, 2018

Trump’s FISA tweets this morning - contradicting his own White House and then shifting back - should alarm everyone. It’s not about the policy which clearly he has not read or understands, it’s about a man who is not mentally fit or well.

Trump Twitter Rant: I'm A "Very Stable Genius!"

Donald "Stable Genius" Trump

Hoo-boy! What a way to wake up on a Saturday morning!

As the new book Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House got an early release yesterday due to Donald Trump's pumping up the interest in the explosive tome, folks began to focus on the book's passages relating to possible mental deficiencies.

The Trumpster clearly has had enough of that kind of talk. Taking to Twitter this morning, he wrote:

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.....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 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!

"StableGenius" immediately began trending on social media.

And the crowd goes wild:

Well, you’ll show ‘em. Nothing says stable like a midnight tweet about “Sloppy Steve” followed by a 7:00 a.m. tweet calling “hoax” on an investigation that has already led to charges against 4 people. Except maybe maniacal laughter. Try some of that too. https://t.co/X7c8LOhR30

In my experience, the people who angrily refer to themselves as stable geniuses are usually neither, and are usually found muttering to themselves on sidewalks. It's not normal to find one in the White House with the nuclear button. https://t.co/tHWZWkYZ6A

In case you were wondering, this was Fox at 7:10 am this morning.

Democrats elected a Harvard-educated constitutional law professor. Republicans elected a barely-literate reality TV star who spends his time on twitter trying to convince people he's "like, really smart" and a "stable genius" and calling himself a genius pic.twitter.com/aiU4g25qc4

Who else out there is also a very stable genius? Just trying to get a rough head count so I know what we're working with.

It is a well-known fact that Very Stable Geniuses have to keep repeating that they're, like, really smart because everybody else always thinks they are crazy and stupid.
