Trump sends vague midnight tweet about 'negative press covfefe'

[uppityperson]

Source: USA Today

Donald Trump has been active on Twitter since his return from his first overseas trip as president. And he kept the ball rolling with a tweet shortly after midnight on Wednesday morning.

But it is not at all clear what the president was tweeting about.

"Despite the negative press covfefe," Trump wrote.

Unsurprisingly, most of Trump's fellow Twitter users jumped all over the apparent mistake. And #covfefe became a trending topic on Twitter.

Is mocking Don important news of national interest?

[iluvtennis]

1. It's gone viral...every other tweet is about covfefe...

...apparently the idiot meant to type in conference. Probably high on coke

[global1]

2. Actually Mid Tweet His Lawyers Wrestled His Phone....

from him. In the melee that ensued his little fingers on his little hands were only able to hit the following letters 'covfefe'.

6. Incisive analysis .

[jpak]

40. My first thought as well

[lunasun]

7. I was thinking the intended word was coverage or he just wigged out and there was no meaning

[emmadoggy]

71. I'm pretty sure "coverage" was the intended word.

But how that turns into "covfefe", I have no idea. This is 45 we're talking about...

[nocalflea]

4. Is mocking Don important news of national interest?

Yes. The mood of a nation is always relevant. But, then, I assume you know that.

[dixiegrrrrl]

9. Hell yeah it is!

And to prove it, everybody is tweeting everybody else over "covfefe" and I have been laughing my butt off reading some of the comments.

5. I am so glad I voted for Hillary Clinton.

For my own conscience.

losing the popular vote!


My husband just left for work, saying "enjoy your covfefe!"

I can't imagine Trump ordering anything like that.

[livetohike]

51. ROFL

[NanceGreggs]

76. Only if it's well-done ...

... and served with ketchup.

[Ken Burch]

77. Or if it's KFC(Kentucky Fried Covfefe)...

...and you eat it with a fork.

[BlueStater]

12. What an embarrassment he is.

The tweet's been up for over an hour now. He never finished it nor did he correct the misspelled word. Did he tweet this in his sleep? Did he need to abandon his phone from a sudden case of severe diarrhea after his latest fried chicken binge? What? I'm on pins and needles here!

[TeamPooka]

23. Trump will die on the toilet while tweeting someday. Like Elvis but with a cell phone

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

13. Did he drop his phone in the toilet?

[flibbitygiblets]

22. Close to what I was thinking, but more like an Elvis-esque throne-based incident

The covfefe will not be televised! (Just tweeted.)

Now to figure out what the hell it means.

31. I love the polls on what the correct pronunciation is -

[montana_hazeleyes]

16. I think he was having a hard time

pressing the covfefe out.

17. this one's my favorite so far

[orleans]

18. google translator says "SAMOAN DETECTED"

he probably picked it up on his world tour

[ucrdem]

19. He's never gonna live this one down.

Time to stop tweeting.

[mpcamb]

62. Whichever of his tweet handlers let his guard down will be hearing "You're fired!"

Cuz nothin' is ever his fault.

[calimary]

21. Any idea how you pronounce that?

[hatrack]

72. It's spelled "covfefe" but it's pronounced "Labrador"

[calimary]

75. LOL!!!

[icymist]

24. There are 98,861 likes! Someone MUST know what covfefe is!

38. LOL.. I was literally

laughing so hard.. tears were coming!

[lastlib]

55. (But 98,822 of them were bots.......)

okay, the rest were,too, but they weren't automated........)

[Ccarmona]

25. If you Haven't Been Following on Twitter

But the bots have been adding followers to Trump's acct at a 100 a minute. Maybe this was a bot.

26. I like the posts on urban dictionary...

[SergeStorms]

27. Trump makes George W. Bush....

look like a Rhodes Scholar. I never thought that as long as I lived we'd see a President worse than Bush, but I "misunderestimated" the GOP once again. Republicans detest education.......all that 'book larnin' doesn't sit well with them. They'd rather have a "man of action", like Trump, any day.

Colluding with a sworn enemy of the United States to interfere with our hallowed election process? NO PROBLEM! Alienating our allies all over the world? NO PROBLEM! Disgracing the office of President of the United States? NO PROBLEM! Dismantling the Federal Government, and trashing the Constitution of the United States? NO PROBLEM! Abandoning the most vulnerable in our society, and making health insurance too costly for 25 million Americans? NO PROBLEM! Using the wrong email server to deliver messages to other Democrats? HOLY FUCKING SHIT! PUT HER IN JAIL, PUT HER IN JAIL! HITLERY IS TOO CARELESS TO RUN THIS COUNTRY!

The Republican party has demonstrated time and again that they are unfit to occupy ANY government position. They're traitors, hypocrites of the first order. Never again! But that's exactly what I said after George W. Bush, never again. And then the sherbet shyster came along, and the entire mismanagement of our government started anew. ONLY MUCH WORSE! Never again, I tell you, never again!

28. Covfefe "coverage"

We get that from context..."despite the negative press covfeve" translates into English as "despite the negative press coverage."

Okay, Don...despite the negative press coverage, WHAT?

Huff Post had the story and several Twitter responses. My favorite response got replaced but it said #Covfefe: Ukrainian word, roughly translated, means: your urine tastes of cigarettes.

33. Say what you will about trump

He does have one quality all want in a narcissistic, traitorous, pussy grabbing, conman for a president:

He is seriously stupid. Not just stupid like other repugs.

He is bigly stupid.

[hedda_foil]

67. He's not stupid. He just doesn't want his great brain to give out by using it.

It stands to reason.

37. It must be another one of those

alternative facts.

[underpants]

57. Thread winner!!!

[DFW]

35. It's easier if you know Russian

Ковфєфє (transliteration: "Covfefe&quot is a perfectly normal Russian word. Negative press Ковфєфє is what happens to a country when it lets a narcissistic psychopath 70 year old showing the first signs of dementia become its leader, and the press, if still free, takes a dim view of that. Thus, there is negative press Ковфєфє.

[Doug the Dem]

36. "Is mocking Don important news of national interest?" HELL YEAH!

In fact, it's vital to the survival of the Republic!

[calimary]

63. Welcome to DU, Doug the Dem!

Maybe it's the new term for White House scrambling to explain away looming IMPEACHMENT?

Or maybe that's the launch code?

[Doug the Dem]

73. Thanks!

But the launch codes are all in Cyrillic now.

[oberliner]

42. Trump just tweeted about it this morning

Link to tweet

[yardwork]

45. He isn't capable of that kind of reframing. Somebody else tweeted that.

[oberliner]

46. You may be right

I wonder if this whole string of morning tweets is him or someone else.

[yardwork]

48. Somebody else. One of the tweets said "excoriate."

[Vinca]

43. That might have been a sign of a mini-stroke.

He's getting fatter by the day and something's got to give.

[yardwork]

47. Interesting thought. I wonder if he'll make a public appearance today.

The tweets his account is sending this morning weren't written by him.

[Rorey]

52. Exactly my thought...a TIA

Transient ischemic attack. I had one over a decade ago. It took me almost two years to get back to the way I was. My suspicion is that this happened and someone noticed the bizarre tweet and went to check on him, and now his people are trying to cover it up by tweeting in his place.

We'll see if he makes any kind of appearance today.

(In my case I wasn't overweight, but had been mostly inactive for a few months because of a deep depression over loss of several loved ones in a short period of time.)

[skip fox]

50. Just for the record, here's what likely happened:

Trump is in bed, tired and foggy.

He thinks he is beginning a sentence "Despite negative press coverage" and then initially planned to add an independent clause like: "my administration has accomplished more than any other in the first 120 days."

But he begins falling asleep 1/2 through "coverage" and types "covfefe" instead (note: the letters e, r, a, g, and e are all close to f, e, f, e). Then, thinking this is the end of his thoughts (imagining in his drifting off mind that he already had typed the independent clause at the beginning of the sentence), he hits the send button and enters slumberland.

It seems pretty clear.

[bucolic_frolic]

54. Channeling Trump

hope it doesn't take one to know one

Be strong, you can get through this

[skip fox]

56. Thanks.

Now I have to run. Time for my exorcism.

[bucolic_frolic]

53. I think it code for Iron Curtain help

Cov Fe Fe .... Fe is the chemical element symbol for Iron

expect brass knuckles and iron stranglehold on the press

[central scrutinizer]

74. CO-V-FE-FE

One Cobalt atom + one Vanadium atom + 2 atoms of Iron

Not sure what that makes but it can't be good

[Roy Rolling]

58. "Uppity" tee hee.

That's exactly what Trump lacks---humility and the ability at self-deprecating humor. He is afraid of words, you are the exact opposite. Thanks for the post.

[CanonRay]

60. He needs a full, unbiased workup at Walter Reed

We need to know what we're dealing with.

[El Mimbreno]

66. Yep. Another symptom of his deteriorating mental condition. nt

[BobTheSubgenius]

65. To be fair...

How much positive covfefe have you seen lately?

And another thing from that article that struck me - if they are concerned about what their child sees and hears, what parent lets an
11-year old watch Kathy Griffin?

[Rorey]

68. Exactly

I'm not buying that Barron even saw the picture. An 11 year old shouldn't be allowed to watch certain things. Is nobody watching that kid?

Furthermore, there have been, and will continue to be, many crude and awful things publicized about 45. 45 brought this on to his family. Melania and the nannies better be vigilant if they want Barron to be shielded from them.

[louis-t]

69. Isn't that what he calls his hair?

[haele]

70. Maybe not mocking - but this sort of activity on the part of a president is a troubling sign.

And so, there should be quite a lot of National Interest in the fact the man is up at 3am his own time making increasingly incoherent tweets. There's a major cognitive problem there, especially when adding his increasingly diminished ability to speak in a professional manner (let alone a conversational manner), and his random, rather low energy physical presence.
Shakespeare would describe him as being in his dotage...and the GOP continues to stand by him in his dotage so long as they can stuff their pockets with public money and resources before they drop him.
