Were the millions of people who laughed at Trump's boast that he was 'a very stable genius' really all being ableist?

I feel like we've gotten way too deep into The Discourse here. Seeing someone do something like eat raw pig's head or stab people and then sarcastically refer to them as a "stable genius", and thereby calling them the opposite of stable and/or the opposite of a genius are both intrinsically ableist.

one can reject a binary and still find it funny when another invokes that binary
