President Trump’s id took over the controls of his Twitter account this morning, after weeks of relatively reasonable tweeting through the holidays.
His angsty outpouring, obviously prompted by the Wolff book and Democrats trotting out unscrupulous mental health “experts” to “diagnose” him from afar, started with last night’s attack on Steve Bannon and continued today with his protestations of sanity.
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.....

....Actually, throughout my life, my two greatest assets have been mental stability and being, like, really smart. Crooked Hillary Clinton also played these cards very hard and, as everyone knows, went down in flames. I went from VERY successful businessman, to top T.V. Star.....

....to President of the United States (on my first try). I think that would qualify as not smart, but genius....and a very stable genius at that!

Now, you might say to yourself “he doth protest too much” or “wow, hit a nerve,” and that’s all well and good.
Oh sorry, I guess it sounded like there was more to that sentence. There wasn’t, though. It’s just all well and good.
I can’t say what motivates Donald Trump, nor can I diagnose him from afar like some quack fished out of the murk by Democrats, but I know what I would do if I were an international figure that was being accused in multiple quarters of being mentally unstable. I’d do “not that thing that Trump did today.” That’s what I’d do.
But he’s never been circumspect or, alas, overly wise. Even when he’s overseeing the most conservative first year in modern American history.
Stable? Come on, Mr. President. You can sell us a lot of things, from wine to tax cuts, but I think stable is tough sell even for you.
ESPECIALLY for you. Sorry.
