Nadat
het boek 'Fire and Fury' van Michale Wolff verscheen, zoals te
verwachten door Trump afgedaan als onzin en roddel geleverd door Steve Bannon, liet het
beest weer eens een aantal tweets los op de wereld. Daarin had hij niet alleen kritiek op Bennon en Wolff, maar moest hij 'uiteraard' zichzelf weer de nodige veren in de vieze reet steken.

In Bizarre Tweetstorm, Trump Defends His Sanity: ‘I Am a Very Stable Genius’

(ZHE) — Since
the first excerpts from Michael Wolff’s “Fire and Fury” were
published on Wednesday, its numerous (in)credulity-inducing details
have dominated the news cycle and most of the official press
briefings since. President Donald Trump has insisted that Wolff had
“zero” access, and that the book’s contents are gossip leaked
by former White House Chief Strategist and Trump campaign leader
Steve Bannon, whom Trump rechristened “Sloppy Steve” and slapped
with a cease-and-desist.
And,
as Trump tends to do, he doubled down on half-a-week’s worth of
denials and repudiations in a bizarre Saturday morning tweetstorm
that saw
him defending his sanity and intelligence while lashing out at two of
his favorite targets: Hillary Clinton and former ABC White House
Correspondent Brian Ross.
Far
from being mentally infirm, Trump
insists that his “mental stability” has been one of his greatest
assets “throughout my life,” along with the fact he’s “like,
really smart.”
Furthermore,
the fact that he was able to win the presidency on his first attempt,
with no prior experience in politics (except for his 2000 bid for the
Reform Party nomination, of course) prove that he’s not only a
genius but “a very stable genius” at that. Saturday morning’s
tweets essentially pick up from where Trump left off last night, when
he tweeted that “Sloppy Steve” “cried when he got fired and
begged for his job.”
Interposed
between the fiery denunciations, Trump includes a shout out of sorts
to the Washington Post, which ran a Trump-friendly headline about the
African-American unemployment rate falling to 6.8%.
Michael Wolff is a total loser who made up stories in order to sell this really boring and untruthful book. He used Sloppy Steve Bannon, who cried when he got fired and begged for his job. Now Sloppy Steve has been dumped like a dog by almost everyone. Too bad! twitter.com/gop/status/949…
Ross
was suspended by ABC late last year after erroneously reporting that
Michael Flynn was prepared to testify that Trump ordered him to
establish contact with the Russian government during the campaign –
an action that would be tantamount to conspiring with a foreign power
to influence an American election. However, in reality, Flynn planned
to testify that Trump senior adviser (and son-in-law) Jared Kushner
asked him to meet with the Russians during the transition, a request
that is not only legal, but routine.
Brian Ross, the reporter who made a fraudulent live newscast about me that drove the Stock Market down 350 points (billions of dollars), was suspended for a month but is now back at ABC NEWS in a lower capacity. He is no longer allowed to report on Trump. Should have been fired!
Trump
concludes that, since Special Counsel Bob Mueller has so far failed
to take him down, the Democrats and mainstream media are resorting to
questioning his mental stability, hoping to convince Vice President
Mike Pence and members of Trump’s cabinet to invoke the 25th
amendment – something that’s been widely discussed over the past
week.
Trump
sued Wolff’s publisher, Henry Holt & Co., to block the book’s
publication, which only inspired the publisher to move its release
date to yesterday in the interest of furthering the
public discourse cashing in on the hype.
Some
of the book’s claims – like the idea that Trump wouldn’t know
who former House Speaker John Boehner was despite tweeting about him
several times – have been disputed by Wolff’s fellow journalists.
Also, many of Wolff’s peers have criticized him for cynically
criticizing his fellow journalists during several television
appearances as a way to ingratiate himself with the Trump inner
circle.

Naturally,
and not surprisingly, this morning’s twitter outburst has inspired
a flurry of responses on twitter, with users riffing off Trump’s
“very stable genius” line.
Almost
every working political journalist in the US tweeted some variation
of this:
As
more details from the book hit the web, it will surely continue to
dominate the news cycle into next week if not beyond, and if history
is any guide, expect Trump – unable to find closure – to
accelerate his angry tweets in the coming days, while digging an even
deeper hole for his critics.
