Definition of «stable genius»

"Stable genius" is an ironic and sarcastic political label used to mock perceived incompetence, erratic behavior, or nonsensical statements made by public figures. The phrase originated from self-descriptive comments made by Donald Trump and has since been adopted by critics as a shorthand for highlighting a lack of intelligence or self-awareness. It is typically used in a derisive tone when sharing news stories or quotes that appear particularly absurd or factually incorrect. The term functions as a linguistic eye-roll within online political discourse to signal that the speaker believes the subject is the opposite of what the phrase suggests.
