You missed the point Paul.
POTUS tweeted calling himself "Very stable genius" in response to "idiot" allegations based on Micheal Wolff's new book. A similar situation occurred during Nixon's presidency. He was called a crook by the media and Nixon responded with "I am not a crook" statement. That response permanently associated the words "I am not a crook" with Nixon in our minds. In a similar situation, Trump responds with "I am a very stable genius". The media goes bunkers with it. Everyone critizes Trump for calling himself a genius without realizing they are using the words "genius" and "Trump" in the same sentence. Scott Adam's says that creates and word association in our minds. That is why he calls Trump's Genius tweet a genius.
following twitter exchange between Steven King and Scott Adams pretty much sums it up.
Steven King: Anyone who has to call himself a genius...isn’t.
Scott Adams: Who made every one of his critics pair his name with the word “genius” for the next month? #snapgoesthetrap
