Donald Trump tweeted about being a 'very stable genius' and everyone is making the same joke

Donald Trump's latest Twitter rant is rather bizarre.

In the wake of Michael Wolff's damning claims in his latest book and the ongoing investigation into alleged Russian interference in the US election, Mr. Trump decided to set the record straight on a few things.

At around 7:30 am US time the President decided to post three tweets touching on subjects including Russia, so-called 'fake news', Hillary Clinton, mental stability, reality TV and his own intellect.

 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!

Although it's impressive that he managed to get all of those subjects into just three tweets, the fact that he decided to go on that sort of rant at that time of day has raised some red flags with many people online.

Thankfully, you can always rely on Twitter to break down the situation.

 Nothing says “mentally stable” like these dandies at 7:30am on a Saturday from the president.

 The thing about mentally stable geniuses is that they never have to tell people that they are mentally stable geniuses...

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 President of the United States calling himself a “stable genius” is one for the history books. What a dangerous buffoon.

 Nothing more stable than tweeting a rant like this as the most powerful man in the world.

 I hope now Trump has assured us that he's mentally stable in an unhinged and furious Twitter rant we can now just lay it to rest.

There's always a joke or two to be had in these situations too.

 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.

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

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

Still, while it is fun to make jokes about a rather bizarre Twitter rant, we have to remember that this is the reality we live in now...
