President Trump
Donald John TrumpHouse Democrat slams Donald Trump Jr. for ‘serious case of amnesia’ after testimony Skier Lindsey Vonn: I don’t want to represent Trump at Olympics Poll: 4 in 10 Republicans think senior Trump advisers had improper dealings with Russia MORE on Saturday attacked Democrats and media for questioning whether he is mentally fit for office, saying his ability to win the presidency on the first try shows that he is “not smart, but genius....and a very stable genius at that!”
Trump said in a series of tweets that his “two greatest assets have been mental stability and being, like, really smart.”
A report this week also said that a group of lawmakers met with a psychiatrist to review Trump's mental health.
Questions surrounding Trump's fitness for office have intensified after news of the briefing with the psychiatrist broke, as well as the release of a new book sharing bombshell details of Trump's White House.
The author of "Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House," Michael Wolff, claimed this week that every member of Trump's senior staff questions his mental fitness for office.
Reporters asked press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders about Trump's fitness to serve at press briefings two days in a row, an unprecedented level of questioning surrounding a sitting president's mental health.
Huckabee Sanders hit back at questions surrounding Trump's mental health Friday, saying that what "is really mentally unstable is people that don't see the positive impact that this president is having on the country.”
“It's absolutely outrageous to make these types of accusations and it's simply untrue, and it’s sad that people are going and making these desperate attempts to attack the president,” she said on "Fox & Friends."
Trump on Saturday also called allegations that his campaign colluded with Russia during the presidential election “a total hoax.”
This claim comes one day after GOP senators recommended that the author behind a controversial, unverified dossier linking Trump to Russia face a criminal investigation.
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.....
