Hey, maybe this is the last puzzle piece that will finally convince everyone that Trump’s a great big dumb dummy. Target the ironic death ray and set to ‘eviscerate’. Yay liberal satire! Sorry, I’m just frustrated at liberals opting for the catty jabs instead of the gravely troubling stuff like healthcare, the Paris climate deal, the Russia probe, the obstruction allegations. No wonder Trump spouts stupid shit on Twitter. Nobody can resist the distraction. ---

No wonder Trump spouts stupid shit on Twitter. Nobody can resist the distraction. There’s plenty of liberals to go around. We can point and laugh at the moronic stuff, and still get all riot-y about the Fuckhead Wealthcare Plan. Issa isn’t hiding on the roof because Trump can’t compose a tweet. ---

[covfefe.com](http://covfefe.com) redirects to a storefront selling Trump satire T-shirts and coffee cups. Seems safe, but I broke the link anyway. ---

No wonder Trump spouts stupid shit on Twitter. Nobody can resist the distraction. Not quite. Trump spouts stupid shit on Twitter because his head is filled with fart pudding. The conservatives need to but to get downwind of him to realize this. ---

Imagine the fun if Trump had typed “covpepe” instead. :eek:😃 ---

> [@Morgenstern](#): > > Not quite. Trump spouts stupid shit on Twitter because his head is filled with fart pudding. The conservatives need to but to get downwind of him to realize this. I’m enthusiastically onboard with the fart pudding characterization, and really just the term itself, but I stand by my original comments. ---

No wonder Trump spouts stupid shit on Twitter. Nobody can resist the distraction. There isn’t a lot I can do if Trump wants to abandon the Paris climate agreement. I can do my part to halp keep the ACLU funded like it has never been before to combat some of his other fucknuttery. But if the dumbass spouts incoherent nonsense on twitter, you know, like the statesman that he is, I feel more than comfortable calling him a shitnugget on the internet. ---

The crazy thing here is that the White House can’t just admit the most obvious explanation: he fell asleep or got distracted and then sent a butt tweet. Instead, we have [Spicer and Trump himself pretending it was some sort of coded message](http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/spicer-offers-cryptic-explanation-for-trump-covfefe-tweet/ar-BBBKjCT?li=BBmkt5R&ocid=spartanntp), which actually makes them look a hell of a lot worse. (Maybe Trump thinks this is how a “secure line” works?:p) Say what you want about the lack of transparency in previous administrations, but Obama would never have been too proud to say “Whoops, looks like I hit Send with my ass.” ---
