The president is actually claiming to be "a very stable genius" in response to Michael Wolff's book, "Fire and Fury." In the book, Wolff paints a picture of an administration in chaos and a president without the ability or interest to learn from his mistakes.

Trump propelled the book from abscurity to Number One on Amazon by threatening to sue Wolff and his publisher. He took focus off the Republican agenda and put it on questions about himself.

Trump prides himself on being among other things, unpredictable. In truth his threat to sue was very predictable given his history of hollow threats.

Meanwhile fake tough guy Steve Bannon is groveling for Trump's forgiveness for shooting off his big mouth in front of someone he knew was writing a book.
