Every one?

Trump's impressive meeting with Congressional leaders over immigration/DACA was open to the Press. He let the world see the "Art of the Deal" in progress. If he can oversee comprehensive immigration reform, Trump will be tauted as a Presidential genius. Blitzer on CNN could not contain his shock of what happened. The other Wolff, the tell-all liar, was exposed as a fraud.
I saw a very interesting interview with one of these authors who wrote a book saying that the best leaders are mentally ill and he explained why. Churchill suffered from depression, but those with this affliction are often extremely realistic. He was also able to see the threat of Hitler before others. Lincoln also suffered from mental illness.

He identified several ailments that in normal times are a liability. However, those who are manic are better able to make decisions in the midst of chaos.

Second he argues against the Goldwater rule because he feels it codifies the stigma of "mental illness". Trump is probably right -- he probably is a genius. I wouldn't call him mentally stable nor would I call him smart, but genius is probably true.
