NPR (in the Up First podcast) pronounced it as 3 syllables (co[sub]v[/sub]-fay-fay).
I thought it was cov-FEE-fee, with the last two syllables like a common French poodle name.
Maybe it’s an acronym?
Despite the constant negative press covering only very frequent embarrassment and fucking errors…
I thought you had to [DEL]say[/DEL] tweet it three times?
It’s down now.
The person who was supposed to be monitoring his tweets will be looking for work today. Oh well, with a law degree it shouldn’t be too hard to find another job.
It reminds me of the professional wrestling term “kayfabe”, which - for those not familiar - means “the portrayal of staged events within the industry as “real” or “true,” specifically the portrayal of competition, rivalries, and relationships between participants as being genuine and not of a staged or predetermined nature of any kind.”
I think covfefe is Trump’s term for kayfabe. It’s short for “covert feigned fecklessness”. What Trump mistakenly tweeted was something he intended to send to his team. It was supposed to be the first part of a sentence that read
"Despite the constant negative press covfefe that we are maintaining, I think some of the public are seeing through it. Team, we need some top class ideas for increasing the level of my buffoonery in order to provide Steve with sufficient distraction to cover his next policy move."
Yay, he’s back! Now I have an excuse not to do this work that I need to do.
P.s., “covfefe” is just the random letters that got pressed when his lawyers saw him on his phone and tackled him.
I don’t have a Twitter account but if I did and I wanted to follow our buffoon in chief for the amusement value, I’d use a sock account. You know, so my friends wouldn’t point and laugh.
Yeah. Doesn’t that describe professional wresting as a whole? Why come up with an extra word?
Eh, he was trying to type “coverage” when the tranqs set in.
I went to WP’s front page to read their article on it and saw this headline:
Inadvertently read ‘Trump’s widow…’
Was sad
when I realized my mistake.
Right. I don’t know what all the mystery is about what he was trying to type. Obviously it was “negative press coverage”.
The mystery is why he stopped at that point and left it for hours.
I believe the final “e” to be silent.
I suspect he has fallen asleep mid-tweet.
His tiny thumbs were exhausted. Who knew Presidentin’ could be so tiring?
Ok, I love that.
Honestly, any day I’m expecting to hear Trump’s staff announce that he’s suffering from exhaustion and will be taking a month off.
Then of course, he’ll respond to the hail of abuse by saying that he’s been a stronger, more active, harder working President than anyone in history and deserves the rest.
Reminds of a lame joke I read years ago ( maybe in Readers Digest?)
The star football player was benched for poor academic performance. The coach went to the principal to complain.
The principal starts talking about what a bad student the player is." He can’t spell, he can’t spell anything. I bet he can’t even spell coffee. I’ll tell you what, if he can get ONE LETTER right he can play in the big game".
So they go get the player and they ask him to spell coffee.
The player thinks really hard and says
K…A…U…P…H…Y
Actually Rachel Martin (NPR)'s pronunciation was cov-FEH-feh. But I think I like yours better.
My theory is that he was trying to type about feeling an affinity with the former Secretary-General of the United Nations, about how unfair the press was with Kofee Anan, feh!.
