  • Despite the constant negative press covfefe

    https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/...=.34828e81cf0d

    It's been 5 hours since he posted it and it's still up, although to be fair, he apparently posted it just after midnight D.C. time, so his minders will be asleep.

    I think this tweet is so popular because it hits all the notes that summarize this administration: Incompetent, incoherent, tweeting after midnight, not done through proper processes.

    I'm predicting that covfefe will become a new word. Twitter certainly seems to be trying at the moment. Currently the meaning seems to be "I don't care enough to continue typing this sentence."

    Or possibly Trump is doing some product advertising. His daughter's probably got a new line of products he's misusing the presidency to sell...



    But I would put money on the fact that a cafe somewhere will create a new special type of coffee called covfefe. Maybe it could be an orange flavored coffee (Jaffa flavor) with cream on top shaped to look like Trump's hair.

    P.S. The official KFC account for UK and Ireland just tweeted that covfefe is their secret ingredient.

      Could hardly be said any better than that.

          Liberals simply don't posses the Trump Codex.
          I've translated the message... suffice it to say, all of you liberals will learn of the covfefe soon enough.
          Actually YOU put Trump in the White House. He wouldn't have gotten 1% of the vote if it wasn't for the widespread spiritual and cultural devastation caused by progressive policies. There's no "this country" left with your immigration policies, your "allies" are worthless and even more suicidal than you are and democracy is a sick joke that I hope nobody ever thinks about repeating when the current order collapses. - Darth_Executor striking a conciliatory note in Civics 101

            I think today is the day when democrats, republicans, liberals, jews, catholics, atheists, agnostics and even covfefes can all laugh at Trump.

                No. It's funny, but it doesn't have any actual impact. Though Trump's follow-up actions (if any) might.

                  There's way more amusing presidential gaffs. Like Ford locking himself out of the White House or Bush having a difficult time getting a door knob to work. Typos is just low bar stuff.

                        This crisis nearly rivals the importance of whether Russian dressing is really Russian or the "scoop" that Trump took two scoops of ice cream

                        When do the impeachment hearings begin over this?

                          I'll let the low-info crowd have this one. At least there's evidence this really happened, unlike conspiracy theories about Trump colluding with Russia.
