In reply to the discussion: Trump sends vague midnight tweet about 'negative press covfefe' [View all]skip fox
(19,490 posts)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.

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

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

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

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

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