    K I still need someone to sit down with me and explain the whole “Covfefe” thing

    Edit: in homeopathic sized doses, he is objectively hilarious and tolerable. But his word salads make me wanna needa self-cannabinalize

      It was a tweet. He tweeted this absolute nonsense and everyone was like “wtf is he on drugs?”

      That’s it.

        But like has anyone tried to explain or postulate what was meant specifically by covfefe, like what was the context?

        Edit:

        covfefe = coverage

          He probably just fat-fingered his phone with a half-written tweet open. If he’d just followed that up with “…coverage I’m actually the awesomest president ever blah blah blah” nobody would’ve noticed.

          But instead it turned into this whole thing about how the tweet was meaningful and people were just too dumb to get it. Which just made him look ridiculous as usual.

          Yes. Many people have tried to explain it. Parts of the qult are claiming that it’s a cure for the covid vaccine, (Co)Cobalt, (V)Vanadium, and two (Fe) iron.

            Nah, its simple and I literally just explained it (as evinced by [the context of] his tweet)

              That’s what actually happened, yes. That doesn’t mean that many people who worship him have not tried to find an explanation that means it was completely intentional, and I think it’s worth knowing about how far people will go in his defence, even when it requires them to twist themselves into pretzels to defend something that would have been completely fine if he had just laughed it off.

                I will never understand. Like how does anyone seriously politicize something that random and banal

                  Trump is a narcissist, he is incapable of admitting any flaw or fault, be it in an accidentally sent typo tweet, or letting the experts address a public health issue rather than pushing himself to the forefront and suggesting putting sterilizing lights into the body.

                    He actually did in his ShoppingChannel commercial today, the one with the Trump trading cards or whatever.

                    He referred to all the muscles the “artists” gave him that he definitely doesn’t have IRL.

                    I was like “Holy Shit, did he just like self-deprecate for the first time in his life?!”. I almost fell off my dinosaur!

          I mean it was midnight. So, I think he was trying to say something about despite a day of bad press coverage, coffee? Has allowed him to…

          Fall asleep face first on his keyboard?

          Idk.
