This morning, (6 January), Donald Trump posted some baffling and quite frankly ridiculous tweets and the world of social media is getting a lot of enjoyment out of it.
He sent out three tweets, touching on Russia, Hillary Clinton, reality TV, oh and he defended his own intelligence, saying:
Actually, throughout my life, my two greatest assets have been mental stability and being, like, really smart.
Like really, really?

Donald Trump felt the need to hit back at questions about his capacity for office after revelations in Michael Wolff’s explosive new book… at 7:30am.
This is what his three tweets said in full:
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!
You ok hun?
Anyway, everybody’s been saying a ‘mentally stable’ man doesn’t need to tell people he’s mentally stable.
Here’s a glance:
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

The thing about mentally stable geniuses is that they never have to tell people that they are mentally stable geniuses… https://t.co/OvvLuOXZUk

I am also a very stable genius who, like most very stable people, is very comfortable bragging about my very stable genius status.

After years of feeling mentally unstable I have just looked at Trump's tweets and feel mentally stable.

Very Stable Genius will be the opening act for Whiskey Steve and the Confederate Elves on their 2018 World Tour.

Remember how every Saturday Obama had to tweet that he was smart and definitely not insane?

The publication of Mr Wolff’s book Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House, has shed light on many concerns among the President’s aides regarding his mental state.
Of course the President was quick to brand Mr Wolff’s book as ‘phony’ and ‘full of lies’, as he does with any opposition to him.
The veteran journalist wrote in the tell-all work based on interviews with senior White House staff:
Everybody was painfully aware of the increasing pace of his [Mr Trump’s] repetitions.
It used to be inside of 30 minutes he’d repeat, word-for-word and expression-for-expression, the same three stories – now it was within 10 minutes. Indeed, many of his tweets were the product of his repetitions – he just couldn’t stop saying something.

The book also quotes Steve Bannon, Trump’s former chief strategist, saying he thought it was unlikely the President would make his full four-year term, noting the possibility of ‘a threat by the cabinet to act on the 25th Amendment’.
‘He’s not going to make it,’ Mr Bannon is reported to have said. ‘He’s lost his stuff’.
Somebody take Twitter away from him…
