Defends his mental fitness as a 'very stable genius' after Fire and Fury

After Michael Wolff's book Fire and Fury raised fresh questions about his mental fitness, Trump launched a Saturday morning tweetstorm insisting that his 2016 victory proved he was 'like, really smart' and 'a very stable genius.' He stated that he went from 'VERY successful businessman' to TV star to president 'on my first try,' claiming this showed he was not only smart but 'a very stable genius.' The tweets came in direct response to the book's allegations about his mental fitness and competence.

"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!" — January 6, 2018 tweet defending his mental fitness after coverage of Michael Wolff's Fire and Fury
