Trump took to twitter this morning with another patented tweet storm, this time to respond to allegation about his mental fitness in Michael Wolff’s bombshell book “Fire and Fury.”
His rant ran on for three tweets (followed by a Saturday morning press conference) in which he called himself a “very stable genius.”
Dan Rather said what we were all thinking, but better than we could ever say it.
Dear Mr. President,
A good rule of thumb is that when you've got it, you don't have to say it. People know. That holds true for wealth, compassion, faith, and yes, being a "very stable genius." Sincerely, Dan— Dan Rather (@DanRather) January 6, 2018
Rather was responding to this stream of consciousness twitter rage from the President early this morning. Note the time stamps here – he’s up at the crack of dawn already losing his mind over what the world is no doubt already convinced of.

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!

Doesn’t inspire much confidence in the President’s mental stability, to have him up before the sun rises to fire off this ill-thought out tweet thread.
Trump has been obsessing all week about revelations from Wolff’s book, and with good reason since it’s all Washington has been talking about.
He’s specifically concerned – and so is everyone else – about passages that quote multiple White House aides and members of the Trump Administration and inner circle as deeply concerned about the President’s mental fitness and capability of doing the job of running the country.
Various quotes include references to the President as a “fool” and an “idiot.” And these are coming from everyone from Rupert Murdoch on down to lowly White House aides.
Trump isn’t convincing anyone here, either of his mental fitness or genius stability, or that he’s in anyway capable of leading the country. And Dan Rather is totally right – if you got it, you don’t need to say it.
