COVFEFE, from the Urban dictionary \*Covfefe (n.) When you want to say “coverage” but your hands are too small to hit all the letters on your keyboard. covfefe Covfefe (cuv-fey-fey) n. The foggy feeling you get when you can’t believe a political leader is so dumb. covfefe No one really knows yet, but the President of the United States of America used it in a tweet so it must be a bigly important word. It must be YUGE somewhere as he knows all the best words. - It’s pretty cool, the US can shoot down an incoming missile, but the fucking Presidfent Hairy Yam can’t spell _coverage_. So doing the math, covrfefe = coverage fefe = rage fef = rag Therefore, it’s a rag? ---

He’s clearly slacking off. Back in March, when he misspelled “hereby”, he stuck with it until he got it right. Three times the man put tongue between teeth, gathered his strength, and attempted the herculean task of spelling “hereby”. He was rightly applauded for his perseverance. But this time? He’s not even trying. After boobing it up once, he just gave up. I am sad. This is not the kind of energy and determination we’ve come to expect from Trump. ---

It’s my theory he was in the middle of composing a tweet, when whatever he was going to lament about was so egregious (even for him) his lawyers and staff wrestled him to the ground in the middle of typing “coverage”, and ‘send’ was accidentally pressed during the struggle. Where upon he hit his head on the coffee table, and Trump and his phone went dark. No one knew his password, and the tweet couldn’t be deleted until Trump regained consciousness, hours later. ---

Mentally ill Trump. Falling asleep at the keyboard while typing a complaint about how mean everyone is to you? If one of my friends or family did that, I’d be asking if we needed an intervention. ---

I think a handler caught him tweeting and wrestled the phone away from him. That new word was a result of the struggle. ---

It means he’s a 70 year old with degraded cognition who likes to express his spite via his phone, while making his midnight bathroom trips, but still sometimes just dozes off mid-tweet. Wonder which WH staffer’s job is to lift him off the terlet when that happens? > [@Ukulele\_Ike](#): > > I was going to say this will become Trump’s “What’s the frequency, Kenneth?” but he’s going to end up with a LOT of those.
