COLBERT: "This book has led a lot of people to question whether trump is mentally stable enough to be president.

He continued: “I went from very successful businessman, to top T.V. Star dot, dot, dot, dot, dot, dot, dot, dot, dot, to president of the united States — on my first try. I think that would qualify as not smart, but genius dot, dot, dot, dot, and a very stable genius at that!” “Yes, that’s very important, extremely important, okay? Look, I’m a very stable genius. Now, if you’ll excuse me, it’s past my cheeseburger’s bedtime. Let’s go .” “I love you so much.” And we all know geniuses spend most of their time talking about how smart they are. I believe it was Rene descartes who said, “I think, therefore, I am, like, really smart.”
