The only thing that bothers Trump is when he is made fun of and mocked for any reason, so I say go for it. But here’s the thing - he’s being mercilessly mocked today and yet he would rather have that than to admit he made a tiny mistake. There is something seriously fucked up with that man. Yeah, yeah, stating the obvious, I know. ---

> [@eschereal](#): > > You realize what rosebud _actually_ was, right? According to Wikipedia, either his lost youth or a clitoris, but I’m not sure Trump would know where one of those was, although I’d agree that he probably has a very, very small penis. It would be ironic, though, if it turned out that _Covfefe_ was a company in Mexico that made sleds. ---

No wonder Trump spouts stupid shit on Twitter. Nobody can resist the distraction. All the people who understand issues like health care, climate change, and emoluments gave up on Trump months ago. Now we’re working on the people who need arguments at the level of “Trump’s a great big dumb bunny”. ---

But this does raise the possibility that Trump didn’t mean to fire Comey. He was actually trying to fire Conway but couldn’t spell her name right. ---

And it’s not like every single person has the ability to be doing serious stuff all the time. Exactly. It’s not either-or. And sometimes it’s good to have a laugh at the inconsequential stupid things Trump does, as a brief respite from worrying about the extremely damaging and dangerous stupid things. ---

[pedantic snot] William Randolph Hearst, who’s politics were just to the left of Czar Nicholas II, was an aging fuckwit with a girlfriend far too young and frisky. Hearst was, as you already know, the character model that Wells crafted into Kane. Legend has it Hearst affectionately named his mistress’ lady bits as her “rosebud”\*. Did Wells somehow hear about this, and incorporate it into his plot just to put the screws to Hearst? There is no dispositive fact otherwise, so let’s just go with “Yeah, fer sure…” [/PS] \*However, there is no truth whatever to the rumor that this inspired the artistic career of Georgia O’Keefe. One cannot help but wonder how these internet rumors get started… [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/dammit-covfefe-means-this/787775.md?page=3) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/dammit-covfefe-means-this/787775.md?page=5)
