"President boasts of being ‘a very stable genius’ but Fire and Fury author Michael Wolff says his explosive book will ‘finally end this presidency’

In an extraordinary and unprecedented public defence of his own mental stability, Donald Trump issued a volley of tweets that seemed guaranteed to add fuel to a growing constitutional crisis.

He also said he “would qualify as not smart, but genius ... and a very stable genius at that!”

Michael Wolff, the author of the book that precipitated fierce debate over Trump’s fitness to be president, declined to comment on Trump’s latest claim."
