POTUS: The President of the United States Is, Like, Not Stupid

In fact… he’s, like, super smart and stuff. This morning’s twitter rant, direct from Camp David:

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!

Usually people who boast about being stable and smart are neither. So this is either another one of the norms Trump has violated — he’s actually, like, stable and smart — or he’s a stupid fucking lunatic who watches Fox & Friends while fingering his big, powerful button. Take your pick.

And you know who else won the presidency on his very first try, Donald Dick? Barack Obama. Also: George W. Bush, Bill Clinton, Jimmy Carter, JFK, LBJ, Ike, FDR. Who didn’t win it on their very first tries? Ronald Reagan, George H. W. Bush, Richard Nixon. So Democratic presidents are, like, on average, really smart — way smarter, if “first try” is the standard, than Republican presidents.

Donald Trump’s day so far:

– Says he’s “like, really smart”
– Says he’s a “stable genius”
– Everyone is laughing at him
– #StableGenius is trending
– Fredo Corleone is trending
– Trump needs a straitjacket
– Mueller targeting Ivanka
– SEC targeting Kushner
– It’s still only noon

Don’t forget, Donald Trump also said he has a big dick.

And here he is defending his “stable genius” tweet this morning at Camp David…

Yeah, it’s too bad we live in a country where you “can say whatever comes to your head.” Nothing tightening up those libels laws and feeding the U.S. Constitution into a shredder won’t take care of.
