15. “I would NEVER call him short and fat”
Donald J. Trump
@realDonaldTrump · Nov 11, 2017
Why would Kim Jong-un insult me by calling me "old," when I would NEVER call him "short and fat?" Oh well, I try so hard to be his friend - and maybe someday that will happen!
Posted during his trip to Asia in November 2017, after North Korea's state media called him an old lunatic. The two leaders later met three times. More · Original post

Donald J. Trump
@realDonaldTrump · Jan 2, 2018

17. “A very stable genius”
Donald J. Trump
@realDonaldTrump · Jan 6, 2018
....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!
The last of three tweets posted on the morning of January 6, 2018, after the book Fire and Fury raised questions about his fitness for office. The two tweets before it said the Fake News Media was "screaming mental stability and intelligence" and that his two greatest assets were "mental stability and being, like, really smart." He kept calling himself a very stable genius for years. More · Original post
18. “A 400 pound genius sitting in bed”
Donald J. Trump
@realDonaldTrump · Feb 18, 2018
I never said Russia did not meddle in the election, I said “it may be Russia, or China or another country or group, or it may be a 400 pound genius sitting in bed and playing with his computer.” The Russian “hoax” was that the Trump campaign colluded with Russia - it never did!
He was quoting his own line from the first 2016 presidential debate. More · Original post
19. “No Smocking Gun...No Collusion”
Donald J. Trump
@realDonaldTrump · Dec 10, 2018
“Democrats can’t find a Smocking Gun tying the Trump campaign to Russia after James Comey’s testimony. No Smocking Gun...No Collusion.” @FoxNews That’s because there was NO COLLUSION. So now the Dems go to a simple private transaction, wrongly call it a campaign contribution,...
Posted days after federal prosecutors filed sentencing papers for his former lawyer Michael Cohen. He had quoted the same misspelling in August 2018, and "smocking gun" became a running joke online. More · Original post

Donald J. Trump
@realDonaldTrump · Jan 15, 2019

Posted the morning after he hosted the Clemson Tigers, the college football champions, at the White House during the January 2019 government shutdown and served them fast food.
