The “stable genius” thread

Posted on by

The Untruth Social thread focuses on the dishonesty of Trump and his administration, and the Trump and mental illness thread covers his psychopathology, but I think we also need a thread focusing on his stupidity.

No better place to start than with the 2018 Twitter quote that inspired the OP title:

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!

That quote is its own best refutation, because no one who was truly a stable genius would be stupid enough to say that he was “a very stable genius” and “like, really smart.” Trump is neither, and this thread will soon be full of examples proving it.

  1. Trump in Davos, Switzerland: “Without us you’d all be speaking German”. This would be a good joke from someone with a proven sense of humour. But I don’t think he’s joking.

  2. The Moron in Chief:

    They’re not there for us on Iceland. That I can tell you. Our stock market took the first dip yesterday because of Iceland. So Iceland has already cost us a lot of money.

  3. Trump claims China doesn’t use windmills and only sells them to stupid people. He also said in his speech that China has no windfarms.

    Googling these claims instantly disproved both, and reveals China is the biggest user of windpower in the world and has the biggest wind farms in the world, and is constantly expanding it’s wind power capacity.

    I wonder if anyone has tried to teach Trump how to use Google. Not that he’d be inclined to use it or have the ability to interpret the results. He can sort of use social media, but I’m not sure his tech abilities extend beyond that.

    Even there he has trouble, as revealed when he accidentally posted this on Truth Social when it was intended to be a DM to Pam Bondi:

    Pam: I have reviewed over 30 statements and posts saying that, essentially, “same old story as last time, all talk, no action. Nothing is being done. What about Comey, Adam “Shifty” Schiff, Leticia??? They’re all guilty as hell, but nothing is going to be done.” Then we almost put in a Democrat supported U.S. Attorney, in Virginia, with a really bad Republican past. A Woke RINO, who was never going to do his job. That’s why two of the worst Dem Senators PUSHED him so hard. He even lied to the media and said he quit, and that we had no case. No, I fired him, and there is a GREAT CASE, and many lawyers, and legal pundits, say so. Lindsey Halligan is a really good lawyer, and likes you, a lot. We can’t delay any longer, it’s killing our reputation and credibility. They impeached me twice, and indicted me (5 times!), OVER NOTHING. JUSTICE MUST BE SERVED, NOW!!! President DJT

    There’s also this famous comment:

    They have a phone app so that people can come into our country. These are smart immigrants, I guess because most people don’t have any idea what the hell a phone app is. But they do, these are very intelligent immigrants.
