As you can see from the Tweet storm above (read in reverse order for full effect), President Trump this weekend declared himself a “very stable genius.”
Which I’m sure settles the matter in his mind. In my mind, I’m thinking: “Who does that?” Doesn’t the mere fact that he’s saying he’s both stable and a genius in pretty much tell us exactly the opposite?
I sure think so.
One of my favorite food guys, Anthony Bourdain, put it this way:
He’s right. Think about your friends. If one of them said they were a stable genius and didn’t seem to be kidding, wouldn’t your reaction be along these lines?
Now picture Eisenhower. Or Jefferson. Or, heck, even this guy (bonus points to those of you who can guess which prez this is):
Wouldn’t one of those guys declaring himself a “stable genius” pretty much scare the snot out of you, especially considering Trump can do this:
Yeah. Me, too.
(That was Taft, btw. But then I’m sure you knew that.)
Fred says
January 7, 2018 at 9:39 amWell, I for one am relieved. Stable Genius, huh? Thank goodness, I was starting to get worried.
William Howard Taft was known as the fattest president of the United States. Donald J. Trump proudly holds that honor today. But unlike Taft, Trump is in amazing shape. He said so himself.

January 7, 2018 at 10:11 amGreat comment Fred. I can’t add to that!
Working Dad says
January 7, 2018 at 10:30 amDonald Trump is your President.
Can you just imagine how lying, liberal, Democrat “journalists” would flip out if President Trump had referenced “57 states” like Obama?
Remember when Obama referred to Hawaiians as Asians? (Very unstable and possibly insane)
Remember when Obama stated that a tornado in Kansas killed 10,000 people? It actually killed 12. (Very unstable and possibly insane)
And the list goes on and on…..

January 7, 2018 at 10:58 amDad, I deleted your other post because you included a link to an unreliable news source. Same rule applies here as on my FB page: It has to be a reliable source or out it goes. I will not allow “fake news” or questionable news to exist on my site.
Working Dad says
January 7, 2018 at 11:48 amBS – You removed the posting about a Democrat who offered $20k to anybody who would assassinate President Trump because it clearly shows how Democrats are the unhinged, violent, maniacal psychopaths.
Tommy B says
January 7, 2018 at 12:15 pmIt is fake news daddio. I checked and than I google searched Laura Loomer and only found stuff on a right wing nut job with that name that has been banned from Twitter. You see daddio, Andrew is a real jouirnalist and you only get your force fed facts from “fake news.” Learn a few things, you will be better off, and you won’t look like a fool when you come trolling.
Andrew Heller says
January 7, 2018 at 7:32 pmNo, I removed it because it has to come from a legit news source that I recognize based on 40 years as a news consumer. Those are the rules. Post anything you like from legit news sources.
Working Dad says
January 7, 2018 at 11:57 amI am almost shocked to say this but liberal biased Twitter actually suspended her account for the assassination threat.

January 7, 2018 at 12:49 pmFunny stuff daddio. She is white blond and conservative, much to your chagrin. Fake news!
Fred says
January 7, 2018 at 1:34 pmDo you mean like how Obama was your president?
Jims says
January 7, 2018 at 1:36 pmHe sure the he’ll isn’t my president.
Matt Wyneken says
January 7, 2018 at 10:40 amOne thing that took me a long time to learn about people is that when you hear someone repeatedly describe themselves in some particular way, it might be a public alert or warning, almost as if it’s a discomforting subconscious thought or desire trying to make itself known to the conscious self and everyone else. Anyway, it helps keep me on my toes about people, especially my students who will repeat things like “I’m a hard worker,” or “I’m honest,” when I know otherwise.
Tommy B says
January 7, 2018 at 12:51 pmI agree. I don’t trust folks who have to toot their own horn about themselves. It reminds me of people who say, I mean no disrespect, and then they go right to disrespecting you.
Judith Brooks says
January 7, 2018 at 1:32 pm“Who says that?” says it all. No logical, sane, or well-bred person would make that statement.
Jims says
January 7, 2018 at 1:39 pmHit it right on the head Judith. The man is a mentally ill sociopath. Scary times we live in.
Teddy Luba says
January 7, 2018 at 2:46 pmThe Trumpster is a puppet for the republicans. He’ll sign anything they put in front of him and they don’t have to worry about him reading it.
Jim III says
January 7, 2018 at 3:05 pmYeah. remember when nancy pelosi was speaking about the “affordable care act” back in 2010. Do you remember what she said?
If not I will try to refresh your memory; We have to pass the aca in order to find out what is in it. The democrats passed it, obama signed it without reading it.
I am sure that fred, jim says and you will try to spin this into something else by denying what I have written.
As far a President Trump, the South Koreans, I understand, do not the United States to be part of the negotiations. America should keep our noses out of those negotiations.
The narrative of the left in trying to push the idea that President Trump is mentally unstable is another effort to remove him from office.
It is something that they are going to push and push some more to get to President Trump removed from office
A lie repeated often enough will start to be believed by a majority of people.
The left is very good at lying.
Fred says
January 7, 2018 at 4:19 pmAfter reading this, I must submit to the fact that you are truly, like, really smart and a stable genius yourself.
Jims says
January 7, 2018 at 6:03 pmGeez do you really think this guy is right???? Good lord don’t you have any common sense? This guy is a fruit loop. How can you defend the things this idiot says and does. Wake up and think for yourselve for once.
Teddy Luba says
January 7, 2018 at 7:35 pmA lie repeated often enough will start to be believed by a majority of people is right out of the trump play book. Glad you caught on.
Mark says
January 8, 2018 at 8:26 amPelosi said that AFTER 160 hours of open meetings where the Repubs would not do anything to help President Obama pass anything, where the Repubs refused to help the American public get health insurance, because it would help the Democrats. The ACA was not rammed through in secret Democrat only meetings, unlike the Repub Tax Scam
NativeOfMichigan says
January 7, 2018 at 4:03 pmTrump is a shameless liar without conscience or empathy. He has no soul. In fact, he probably never has had a soul.
♫♫♫
Upstairs in the White House,
Where everyone lies,
And house guests are greeted,
With vodka on ice.
Back on top of Trump Tower,
All covered in red,
Where Russians are welcome,
To sleep in Junior’s bed.
♫♫♫

January 7, 2018 at 9:30 pmYou got it!
Ernie says
January 7, 2018 at 4:25 pmDare I say it? No, I guess you all know what I mean with all these liberal comments. If not, something about exploding. I and millions of Americans are enjoying these times so much, please join us. And, I know we are ALL going to have a very happy new year, plus 7!!
Fred says
January 7, 2018 at 5:37 pmWhat is this Ernie? Another attempt at intelligent conversation? Are your sure your head isn’t exploding because the man you helped get into the White House turned out to be an embarrassing joke?
Jims says
January 7, 2018 at 6:10 pmI really do think that the people that voted for him are afraid to admit they made a huge mistake. Millions? Not to many millions with an approval rate of some thirty some percent. Enjoying what? He’s done absolutely nothing but spent how many millions of our money golfing and spending half the time in Florida.
Mark says
January 8, 2018 at 8:29 amDon’t you think it’s time to retire the worn out meme of Libs heads exploding? The calling of snowflakes,etc. Get some new material
Ernie Davis says
January 8, 2018 at 10:24 amI’m waiting for libs to get any material that isn’t fake. On and on with trying to get the President, when it doesn’t work, try something else. How about some support?
Fred says
January 8, 2018 at 10:34 amDo you mean you are not just gripping tightly to the last shreds of a fantasy that is dissipating more everyday and being replaced by pure embarrassment and shame?
Ernie Davis says
January 8, 2018 at 11:45 amUh, yeah, Fred, I guess so, if you say so. But I’m loving it.
Fred says
January 8, 2018 at 12:00 pmHave you sought professional help for your masochism tendencies?
Mark says
January 8, 2018 at 5:16 pmFour indictments with two guilty pleas,and they will testify against the Drumpf crime cabal, obstruction, money laundering etc…how’s that for supporting the rule of law
Tom says
January 7, 2018 at 4:49 pmTrump asserts he is a stable genius. I assert that I am a rich trombonist. What do you guys want to tell us about yourselves? Please, go ahead and assert. You can get away with anything, here in the cyber-21st-century USA.
Is Jim III a renowned bio-chemist? Is Working dad a decorated Navy hero?? Go ahead. Assert, and it will come to pass.
Tom says
January 7, 2018 at 5:11 pmTo the tune of America the beautiful:
Oh, beautiful for stable moods
And high intelligence!
For silly shows on Fox TV
And raising people’s rents!
Our President! Our President
There’s wisdom in his tweets!
He puts his hands down in the pants
Of every girl he meets!
NativeOfMichigan says
January 7, 2018 at 5:32 pmHere’s a tune about “genius”.
♫♫♫
Doesn’t know much about history,
Doesn’t know much geography,
Doesn’t know much about an English book,
Doesn’t know much about the math he took,
But all that is left is an idiot Trump,
And we all know that if he is dumped,
What a wonderful world this would be.
♫♫♫
Tom says
January 7, 2018 at 7:38 pmBrilliant!

January 7, 2018 at 9:32 pmI enjoy laughing at clowns.

January 8, 2018 at 9:12 pmIn an earlier column, andy made reference to the people of Oregon finally being allowed to pump their own gas. According to one report about 37% of drivers in Oregon had car trouble after filling their gas tank with “the green colored gas nozzle”.
