Covfefe: a seed from the new War Room ?


So, has there been any discussion speculating that "covfefe" was an informational seed, tossed into the pond of social media to track how fast/far Trump messages propagate? I'm no expert on this sort of chit and would appreciate perspective from someone who is...feels like knowing the "speed of information" would be a valuable piece of information if I were waging a social media war on the country.

is certainly a possibility here. just asking.

Not likely. He's just stupid and possibly in the early stages of Alzheimers. The Velveteen Ocelot May 2017 #5
No, he passed out on the toilet mid-tweet Warren DeMontague May 2017 #6

The simple answer may be just that it's a dementia-driven sleep-tweet.
And batshit Trump deserves every bit of ridicule he's gotten over it.

maybe because he fell asleep mid-tweet. But Trump can't ever admit making mistakes, even tiny, inconsequential ones, so he sent Baghdad Sean out to suggest it meant something.

was indeed a typo...the second tweet of "have fun..." does not jibe with 45's MO.
He is not capable of self effacing witt, or poking fun at himself. The exhortation to "have fun" or run with the meme, viewed in this context, could be seen as sinister.

He probably fell asleep mid-tweet on account of low energy and a lack of stamina. SAD.

...generates a pretty nice world. Spawn in on plain with desert, forest, and jungle nearby, plus several villages and some ocean monuments a short distance away.

Maybe 45 is into computer gaming now.
