After a new book raised questions about Donald Trump’s mental fitness to run the US, the president has sent a series of extraordinary tweets insisting he’s a “stable genius” who is “like, really smart”.

Responding to Michael Wolff’s explosive ‘Fire and Fury’, in which it’s claimed the leader of the free world’s staff view him as a child who needs “instant gratification”, Trump wrote:

....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!

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 6, 2018

But people on Twitter were quick to point out occasions when the President had acted less than “really smart”.

Like the time he looked directly at a solar eclipse...

And when he couldn’t work out how to perform a traditional handshake at a meeting with world leaders in the Philippines last year.

Not to forget the time he made up a new word...

Just try to reconcile "stable genius" and "covfefe."

Others thought the president’s lingo could have been taken straight from the movies.

But Twitter’s overwhelming reaction was horse jokes. Lots and lots of horse jokes.

The only true stable genius has to be Mr. Ed., who talks in more complex sentences than the current occupier of the Whitehouse.

This is what an actual stable genius looks like. pic.twitter.com/4KlreGNNOL
