Two Pulitzer Prize-winning journalists have released an explosive book after speaking to more than 200 sources in Donald Trump’s inner circle, revealing the alleged disgust his own administration holds for him.

The book, A Very Stable Genius: Donald J Trump’s Testing of America, accuses Mr Trump of having the “amazing ability to disconnect from facts and remember experiences the way it suited him at the moment”.

The book is named after a famous tweet of Trump’s, where he said: “I went from VERY successful businessman to top TV star 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 book’s authors, Philip Rucker and Carol Leonnig, both from The Washington Post, believed they were able to speak to so many sources because “they feel that the president rejects facts and information”.

In an interview with Business Insider, the journalists spoke of some of the most shocking things they discovered in their research.

Mr Trump allegedly ruined a deal with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi because he said: “It’s not like you’ve got China on your border.”

“As a result of the president not knowing that India shares a very significant border with China, Modi began to withdraw a little and, as told to us by aides, viewed Trump as just not serious enough to make a deal with,” Leonnig said.
