Extremely stable genius': Trump defends his mental fitness as he tears into Pelosi


"In a remarkable scene, the president proceeded to name-check senior White House staff and advisers in the Roosevelt Room who he said had attended Wednesday’s scuttled session on infrastructure initiatives with Democratic congressional leaders — which Trump abandoned after declaring that the lawmakers could not simultaneously negotiate legislation while investigating and threatening to impeach him.

“Kellyanne, what was my temperament yesterday?” Trump asked White House counselor Kellyanne Conway.

“Very calm. No tamper tantrum,” she replied before criticizing journalists’ coverage of the meeting, which Trump has complained portrayed him as rageful and lacking composure.

Trump then turned to Mercedes Schlapp, a White House communications aide, and pressed her for an account of the meeting.

“You were very calm and you were very direct, and you sent a very firm message to the speaker and to the Democrats,” Schlapp said.

But the greatest praise of the president came from Trump himself, who told reporters: “I'm an extremely stable genius. OK?”

Every negative and embarrassing trait a human being can have, Trump has it in spades.

Trump: was i stable yesterday?

Kiss ass kelly: the stablest. No temper tantrum

Reporter: seriously?!?

Trump: No tantrum. No tantrum. You’re the tantrum.

It’s hard to claim you’re winning when the discussion is about whether you had a temper tantrum. I still blame this all on the people at CERN.
