What are her chances in 2020. He hits the road this hour after a weekend spent defending his mental fitness. They are trying to focus on their agenda and dealing with an explosive new book that raises questions about the president s mental stability. In a response, the president tweeted this. Actually throughout my life, my two greatest assets have been mental stability and being like really smart. Crooked Hillary Clinton also played these parts very hard and as everyone knows went down in flame. I went from very successful businessman to top star to president of the United States on my first try. I think that would qualify as not smart, but jen uogenius, an very stable genius at that. Abby, what do we expect to hear from the president today . Hi, wolf.
