This morning, in a tweet reeking of desperation, Trump called himself a “very stable genius” in an attempt to quell discussion into his mental ineptitude for office.
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!

Upon the release of author Michael Wolff’s bombshell, tell-all book, “Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House,” the President has come under attack for perhaps being mentally unfit to perform his duties as president. Overcompensating as usual, Trump’s tweets were an ill-executed attempt to push back.
While the internet was especially vocal in its derision of the President, one unlikely account sounded support for a viral anti-Trump tweet. The United States Army account “liked” a tweet by actor Mindy Kaling in which she likened her narcissistic character in NBC’s “The Office” to Donald Trump.

Kaling’s tweet has since gone viral, garnering more than 140,000 “likes.”
This is, of course, not the first time that a government entity has endorsed content critical of the President. While it is likely the their “like” will disappear – perhaps at the demand of Trump himself – the fact that it happened in the first place is a testament to just how little respect the Commander-in-Chief actually commands.
