Poll: Do you believe that Trump is "very stable" and/or a "genius?"

[ProudModerate2]

The President claims to be "a very stable genius" in one of his most recent Tweets.
Question: Do you believe that Trump is "very stable" and/or a "genius?"

Vote and Discuss.

Another interesting, and hilarious, thing I read about this Tweet from the Orange Slug, was this as reported by CNN:

Like many of Trump's tweets, the messages caught some aides off guard. By midday, chief of staff John Kelly hadn't yet seen or heard of them, and offered only a clipped "OK" when read them by reporters.

That question literally made me LOL.

Cenk Uygur can go fyck himself. And take Jimmy Dore with him.

I believe he certainly believes that to be the case.

Is a stable genius someone who knows a lot about horses?

Neither, but this.

I don't know what else you would call it.  He expends 30 seconds typing and his unhinged detractors dance like marionettes associating the name "Trump" with "very stable genius" for a week.

Each tweet gets his message retweeted so he dominates social media. Reporters, social media influencers, and many others fall for it hook, line, and sinker. Every time. They retweet, share, and repeat his messages ad infinitum. This helps Trump tremendously.

They may think they’re negating or undermining him, but that’s not how human brains work. As a cognitive scientist, I can tell you: repeating his messages only helps him.

Amen. Without Pro-Genocide Cenk poisoning the minds of gullible young voters against Hillary with half-truths and whiny lies, Trump wouldn't have been elected in the first place.

LOL.
That is one of the funniest observations from a "scientist" I have seen in a while. He must have been made from the same mold as those scientist who believe that humans are not a cause of global warming, at all.

I also think it's hilarious how you are pointing to "ReTweets" and "Likes," as if that was some kind of barometer of how great you are, or that it helps how people perceive you as. That is the "cognitive" level of how a 13 year-old, very-childish teenager thinks (which would make sense, if that's what drives the Orange Slug to Tweet such idiocy).

The discussion that trump is creating due to his Tweets is how much of a lunatic, and man-child he is. Nothing positive at all for him. What you are pointing to is like saying that Hitler would have benefited from Tweets he sends out, when he messages that it is normal and "ingenious" to gassing, mutilating and murdering 17 million people. Good luck with that.

He is as stable as a table - Liza Minnelli.

Sorry, I did a copy/paste from twitter.  There was no intention to include retweets/likes.

George Lakoff is on your side.  He is not a Trump supporter at all.  He is pointing out how Trump plays the media and the unhinged leftwing like a fiddle.

I don't know if Trump is an actual genius, but compared to his unhinged detractors who fall for this over and over.... He is.

This is a very good point. Thank you for sharing.

Trump is, as the saying goes, 'not even wrong'. He spouts gibberish. There is no benefit to be had from paying attention to him. And if the election demonstrated one thing, it was PT Barnum's quote about there being no such thing as bad publicity. `

It's not that we should allow him and his deplorable band of Gross Old Pedophiles to ruin the country unopposed, it's just that paying attention to Trump doesn't help us stop them.

I think he is stable in the sense that you can expect him to flat-out lie, in very flashy ways, about everything he says, except when he repeats his name, in order to garner short-term advantages.  I think he is a genius insofar as he successfully conned his way to the presidency.  As a "stable genius" in those terms, I think he has proven quite convincingly that underestimating him is a bad choice.

I actually do think he's very intelligent, although probably not a genius. I don't think he's stable, though.

"He's playing 800-D chess" or whatever, probably.

I like to apply Occam's Razor to Trump. If he acts stupidly, governs stupidly, talks/tweets like he's stupid, and lives stupidly, chances are, he's stupid. Not stable nor a genius.

[Virginiá]

What kind of person says that one of their best assets is "mental stability"? Isn't that usually implied as a basic characteristic of someone who is supposedly successful? It's almost like he just said that because he has to speak out against every single criticism leveled against him, even when they might be true

He's smarter and more stable than me.
