My Trumpette FB friend posted that covfefe is an antediluvian word that means “in the end, we stand”. I think she was deadly serious; she’s never made a joke in her life. There aren’t enough roll-eyes. ---

Wouldn’t it be something if “covfefe” was the password to the nuclear football? The security agencies would be batshit crazy over that. ---

It was the third of June, another sleepy dusty Delta day. A “covfefe” is what she and Billy Joe McAllister were throwing off the Tallahatchie Bridge. So, now the world knows. ---

I heard that if you look into a mirror in a candle-lit room at midnight and say “covfefe” three times, Donald Trump appears and gropes you without your consent. ---

The name was leaked to the public when Donald Trump, well known leaker of classified info, tweeted while relieving his arousal upon its girth.

" > > \ > > “AHA!” > [@Clothahump](#): > > I’ve read all the responses to this original post. Cecil, you have lost the fight. Walk me through the logic here. You’re suggesting that Trump may have deliberately sent out a cryptic/meaningless tweet with a nonsense word to goad “snowflakes”? So that when people react with confusion, mirth or mockery, they’ve taken the bait and proved themselves stupid? And thus Trump has achieved his goal of getting people riled up? And how exactly do you define “snowflakes”? You wouldn’t rather go with telling everyone they’re being stupid for getting all bent out of shape over an obvious mistweet? Or is this yet another one of your clever uses of “irony”, and we’re all stupid for not appreciating that? ---
