Trump reassures his base he's mentally stable...and a genius!

Obviously bothered by the fact that the new #1 book in America "Fire and Fury" has painted him as mentally unstable and possibly battling Alzheimers from dozens of interviews with Oval Office insiders, T-rump went on yet another Twitter rampage this morning assuring his 'base' he's mentally stable AND EVEN A GENIUS!

First he Tweeted:

"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 ... "

Followed about ten minutes later with:

"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!"

Later this morning, T-rump met with reporters (gasp!) telling them he went to the very best colleges because he's smart and he never sat for an interview with author Wolff:

"...I hear this guy that doesn't know me at all, by the way, didn't interview me, said he interviewed me for three hours in the White House. Didn't exist, it's in his imagination."

Wolff maintains he did indeed sit down and interviewed him. Said Wolff on the TODAY SHOW yesterday morning:

"Whether he realized it was an interview or not, I don't know, but it certainly was not off the record."

Well I know who ISN'T too stable or a genius...hint, do you have a mirror Doggy-doo? LOL

Yes, we are strangers but I fear for your mental health. Your anger and unbridled hatred for Trump are really messing you up. What happened to your pal Hester? Maybe she could talk you in off the ledge!

Sheesh!

[–] [deleted] 7 years ago

You're mistaking my unbridled fear for our Democracy, Justice, Freedom and the Future of our country as unbridled hatred of T-rump. But that's too much for you - someone who intellectually challenged - to understand, isn't it?

[–] [email protected] (6247) 7 years ago

LOL , yeah, my biggest "challenge" is trying to keep myself from responding to nutjobs like you!

If you really cared about justice , freedom and the future of our country, then why were such an "unbridled" fan of Hillary Clinton?

Was it because she was a big supporter of late term abortion? And in some twisted way you resent your own mother for not taking advantage of the procedure, thus sparing you a painful lifetime of dealing with conservatives.

Sorry, but I still see you as I did last year when you were losing your sh#t over a possible Trump presidency, sitting in your basement wearing your tinfoil hat, furiously typing your angry rants at a keyboard.

Go have a cup of tea and relax already.

"Was it because she was a big supporter of late term abortion?"

Actually Hillary Clinton said she would support a ban on late term abortion providing the mother's health wasn't at stake.

[–] [email protected] (6247) 7 years ago

Well, this is a sensitive topic. but I started it, so forgive me.

There really IS no medical reason to kill a late term, viable baby just to "save" a woman's life.

Medical science has made great strides in the last decades in the field of neonatology. Babies as young as 25 weeks or younger have been delivered and survive. There is absolutely NO medical or ethical reason to kill an almost full term baby for the "health" of the woman.

Doctors perform caesareans safely to deliver twins, triplets, quads, quints, all the time. If a woman's health was so compromised they could perform the same procedure on her.
Face it, it's not a pregnant woman's "health" that makes a late term abortion desirable, it's her convenience!
But if a woman truly does not want or can't support the child which she has carried in her body for almost forty weeks, well fine! Just leave it at the hospital. Adoptive parents are on waiting lists for years to get newborns. A baby like that would be placed in days.

A woman need not be so inconvenienced by a life she created. But she need not resort to such a barbaric procedure either.

People like Hillary Clinton who support such procedures for any reason make my skin crawl.

[–] [deleted] 7 years ago

Your opinion on the topic is fair enough and I'm not stupid enough to try to change your views on Hillary lol. But I think there's a difference between someone being a "big supporter of late term abortion" and someone with Hillary Clinton's views on the subject and that is all I'm pointing out here as I'm a big believer that facts matter. Personally my heart breaks for any woman who is given horrific news about her pregnancy past the 20 week point and I'm not going to judge anyone put in that situation.

For the record, I can't stand Donald Trump and think he's unfit for the presidency. But I've also called out falsehoods spoken about him on both Facebook and Instagram (actually unfollowed a couple people on Instagram because of repeated false memes regarding him). Regardless of what side you're on or who you're talking about, facts matter and we all (including myself) should work harder to ensure what we post is an accurate representation of the truth.

[–] [email protected] (6247) 7 years ago

Well Markdown I appreciate that you didn't jump on me for bringing up such a sensitive topic! It's hard not to get too overheated. I know I do sometimes.

What did you mean a woman getting "horrific news about her pregnancy past the twenty week point"? Do you mean if they find out that the baby is dead? Or do you mean that a woman only realizes she's pregnant at that point

I have heard one of the reasons, excuses actually, for a late term abortion is that the woman didn't realize she was pregnant. I find that REALLY hard to believe. If a woman is sexually active and has missed her periods for months, well, put the proper two and two together.

For the record, I was never a big fan of Trump in all those years he was a self promoting businessman. he wasn't my first choice for President. But Hillary Clinton was my absolute LAST choice, so ya gotta work with what you were given.

I do my best to be factual. if I can't prove something I admit it's my opinion. Appreciate your thoughts on this.

[–] [deleted] 7 years ago

What I was referring to when I said horrific news is either that there is something about the pregnancy that puts the mother's health or life at risk, or that there is something very wrong with the fetus. I believe the majority of woman who carry a pregnancy to the 20 week mark do so because they want to be (or at least accept being) pregnant and at that point are hoping for a safe pregnancy and a healthy child.

I actually knew a woman who didn't know she was pregnant until she went into labor...hard to believe it's possible but I will say her body from the outside really didn't change that much. But no, that was not what I was referring to.

[–] [email protected] (6247) 7 years ago

Markdown---Oh okay, thanks for clearing that up.

I saw some reality shows where women didn't know they were pregnant either! They delivered a baby when they went to the bathroom thinking they had a bad stomach ache.

I've known some women who never really showed. Actually my mom's best friend in high school was pregnant their senior year and my mom didn't know about it!

Mom was totally shocked. But her friend was always on the chubby side. My mom said she just looked like she put on a few pounds.

Not showing is one thing, but I find it so hard to understand women who are so out of touch with their bodies that they overlook pregnancy. Weird.

One of those tragic things happened to the actress Barbara Eden with her second pregnancy. During a sonogram the doctor discovered that the baby had died. But for some strange reason she had to continue with the pregnancy and deliver a dead baby. In a case like that, that's heartbreaking. I have no idea why they couldn't do an early Caesarean. That would be a terrible situation.

[–] [deleted] 7 years ago

It really is hard to understand but it happens often enough that it at least seems to be a legit phenomenon. Then again I'd be lying if I pretended that was the only thing I didn't understand about women..

And that's really sad about Barbara Eden, I'm sorry to hear she went through that. Especially since my teenage years were spent crushing on her in daily I Dream of Jeanie reruns.

[–] [email protected] (6247) 7 years ago

Markdown- Well, I'm a woman and I don't understand a lot of what other women do!

I suppose it's a legit phenomenon. But I think in a lot of cases, these women are in deep denial. That's true for a lot of people who want to pretend that something is happening in their bodies which they can't face.

Some people do that with sickness. Years ago my uncle became ill, he totally denied all his symptoms. He had cancer. When he finally went to the doctor, it was too late.

Yes, lots of guys crushed on Barbara Eden. Her story is doubly tragic since she also lost her only child Matthew to a drug overdose.

[–] [deleted] 7 years ago

Totally agree that there must be a level of denial in many of those cases.

So sorry to hear about your uncle, similar thing with my favorite uncle back in 2007...less than a month from cancer diagnosis to death. Over a decade ago now and it still gives me a chill thinking about that.

[–] [email protected] (6247) 7 years ago

Oh thanks. That was many years ago. And I still think about it sometimes. He was in deep denial.

But your uncle, one month from diagnosis to his death? How sad.

It was similar with Elizabeth Montgomery. She had colon cancer, but she thought she was cured. She started having influenza like symptoms which she ignored. She wouldn't see a doctor.
When she finally went to the doctor, she passed away eight weeks later. It was too late.

Of course some people are the opposite, like my sister. She has always had "the disease of the week". From the time we were kids, she always thought she had some fatal illness. She was just the type of person who should NEVER watch medical shows. She thinks she has everything.

[–] [deleted] 7 years ago

I remember that happening to Elizabeth Montgomery, very sad! And I know we're talking about rather sad stuff but it's kind of funny that in 2017 we've talked about both Jeannie and Samantha in this thread. I watched IDOJ and Bewitched back to back every morning on TBS growing up and know almost every episode by heart. It was before I was born but an episode of Bewitched was actually filmed in my hometown just down the street from my parents house.

Haha I hope your sister avoids webMD...that could convince anyone they're dying!

[–] [email protected] (6247) 7 years ago

Oh yeah, didn't notice the coincidence, Jeannie and Samantha.

You make me feel old. I was around to watch Bewitched when it first aired.
I spend a lot of time on the Bewitched board here. I always thought I knew a lot about the show. But one poster, gbennett, has a knowledge of the show that is almost encyclopedic.

My nutty sister actually "diagnosed" herself with multiple sclerosis when she was a teen-ager. She made an appointment to go see our family doctor.

She told me later how embarrassing it was. " He looked like he was going to laugh at me."

She had read about some symptoms like tingling and numbness in the extremities. Well, you know that nerve behind the elbow called the funny bone? If you press on it, your arms and hands will tingle.

The doctor asked her how she usually sat. She was sitting in the chair with the backs of her arms pressed into the arm rests. She said that's how she usually sits.

He told her, "Don't sit like that anymore!"

Funny though, when she DOES have something she doesn't listen to the doctor's advice. She's had several bad bouts with kidney stones. She's been told to cut down on coffee and Coke. But does she? No way, she guzzles Coke and drinks at least a pot or two of coffee every day.

So being okay with a woman getting an abortion if she was raped makes your skin crawl?

I'm sure you'll say it wasn't the baby's fault, but guess what, it wasn't the mother's fault either. She didn't choose to get pregnant if she was raped. She didn't choose to take the risk of pregnancy. So how is it fair to demand she lets her life change for 9 months? It's not like you can just take the baby immediately. She'd have to live with the daily reminder that an evil, disgusting creature created something inside her unwillingly. She has to go through the pain and problems that comes with pregnancy when it was forced onto her. So how does that make your skin crawl?

[–] [deleted] 7 years ago

Well this discussion is about late term abortions, and the pregnancy by rape issue is a different one all together. No idea what his views on that issue are but if a rape resulted in pregnancy I can't imagine a scenario where the woman wouldn't be aware of it to make a decision well before it would be considered a late term abortion.

[–] kjc211 (52) 7 years ago

I didn't realize you and he were strictly talking late term, I thought he was saying any reason for getting an abortion makes his skin crawl. But reading all the posts I can see he was referring just to late term abortions. Thanks for clarifying.

[–] [deleted] 7 years ago

No problem kjc. And I clarified because it goes to the bigger point I was trying to make with my post which was that facts matter lol

Seriously I think too many of us (I've been guilty of this too) form opinions off of headlines or memes and we all need to be willing to challenge our beliefs to dig a bit deeper, even if it at times means we'll be disappointed by something we learn about a pre-conceived view.

[–] [email protected] (6247) 7 years ago

Yeah, I was only talking about late term abortions in this thread. I'm a 'she' by the way.

I didn't mean to start talking about such a huge topic which gets people very upset.

[–] footlegger (1468) 7 years ago

I will never understand why some people want to control what other people do with their bodies.
What's next? Forbidding tattoos and piercings? Oversized penises?

[–] [email protected] (6247) 7 years ago

Be it far from me to tell you what to do with your OWN body. Pierce it, shave it, tattoo it. But the "oversized" comment! Where do you get one of those and why should I care? LOL

But a near full term baby has the right to its own body, wouldn't you say? Inconvenient sure, but since when is it moral to get rid of people just because they are inconvenient?

My state will fine you heavily if you abandon a DOG! But if you take a baby which is able to survive and toss it in the trash, how is that doing what you want with your own body?

[–] footlegger (1468) 7 years ago

Unborn fetuses are not people. Also, if the state wants to force the parents to have the child, then it should pay for its upbringing, since many couples decide for abortion because they are not ready, willing and able to provide for their offspring.

[–] [deleted] 7 years ago

Reading through this thread it's occurring to me that one of the reasons Trump is successful is that a post that begins questioning his mental stability has somehow shifted to an abortion debate lol!

[–] crc32 (2584) 7 years ago

Its not really underdebate. We all know trump is pretty dumb but the abortion debate continues on.

[–] crc32 (2584) 7 years ago

Lol. And after the child is born oops the state is still on the hook for paying for it. In other words even if a woman neglects to abort a child its still up to the state to pay for everything anyways. Abortion doesn't solve that problem.

[–] [deleted] 7 years ago

It's too bad that most of these people who are pro-lifers don't give a damn about the baby once it's born - their only concern seems to be while the baby is 'unborn'. Otherwise they wouldn't be wanting to eliminate such programs as CHIP and Obamacare, and de-fund others which hurt the child and their families.

[–] [email protected] (6247) 7 years ago

Geez, a fetus is human, so when does a human become a "people". And don't give me the argument that a fetus is "dependent " on a woman's body. So is an infant. So are young children dependent on their parents. So are people in comas dependent on medical care.

"Many couples", no it's usually single women who don't have the sense to not hook up with men which they cannot count on.

I know it's a radical notion in this world of "me, me, me first" and my pleasures and wants and desires come first. But there was a time when people did not make babies if they could not afford them. Chastity, it works every time it's tried.

"Not ready, willing and able" , oh I'd say they were ready for something! Just not responsible and mature enough to consider the consequences of their actions. So yeah, create a life but flush it down the drain because it's inconvenient.

Funny how people call Trump a racist. Yet black women account for 37% of abortions even though blacks are 13% of the population. Abortionists target minorities.

As Ronald Reagan said, "Everyone who is for abortion has already been born."

[–] crc32 (2584) 7 years ago

We already control woman's bodies. Why isn't prostitution legal in a world where woman are alowed to reject a fetus. Is this really about a woman's right to choose or just a quick fix at population control after mistakes have been made?

[–] Frogarama (12942) 7 years ago

When Trump says he's a "stable" genius, he means he's smarter than most horses in the stable. Most.

[–] [deleted] 7 years ago

"he means he's smarter than most horses in the stable"

LOL! You can only be referring to his base of supporters!

[–] [email protected] (6247) 7 years ago

Well I'll be the front end of the horse Doggie because I know which end you have proven yourself to be.
