Trump sends vague midnight tweet about 'negative press covfefe'
Source: USA Today
Donald Trump has been active on Twitter since his return from his first overseas trip as president. And he kept the ball rolling with a tweet shortly after midnight on Wednesday morning.
But it is not at all clear what the president was tweeting about.
"Despite the negative press covfefe," Trump wrote.

Unsurprisingly, most of Trump's fellow Twitter users jumped all over the apparent mistake. And #covfefe became a trending topic on Twitter.

Is mocking Don important news of national interest?

(1,387 posts)Yes. The mood of a nation is always relevant. But, then, I assume you know that.

(19,193 posts)look like a Rhodes Scholar. I never thought that as long as I lived we'd see a President worse than Bush, but I "misunderestimated" the GOP once again. Republicans detest education.......all that 'book larnin' doesn't sit well with them. They'd rather have a "man of action", like Trump, any day.
Colluding with a sworn enemy of the United States to interfere with our hallowed election process? NO PROBLEM! Alienating our allies all over the world? NO PROBLEM! Disgracing the office of President of the United States? NO PROBLEM! Dismantling the Federal Government, and trashing the Constitution of the United States? NO PROBLEM! Abandoning the most vulnerable in our society, and making health insurance too costly for 25 million Americans? NO PROBLEM! Using the wrong email server to deliver messages to other Democrats? HOLY FUCKING SHIT! PUT HER IN JAIL, PUT HER IN JAIL! HITLERY IS TOO CARELESS TO RUN THIS COUNTRY!
The Republican party has demonstrated time and again that they are unfit to occupy ANY government position. They're traitors, hypocrites of the first order. Never again! But that's exactly what I said after George W. Bush, never again. And then the sherbet shyster came along, and the entire mismanagement of our government started anew. ONLY MUCH WORSE! Never again, I tell you, never again!

(50,553 posts)We get that from context..."despite the negative press covfeve" translates into English as "despite the negative press coverage."
Okay, Don...despite the negative press coverage, WHAT?

Huff Post had the story and several Twitter responses. My favorite response got replaced but it said #Covfefe: Ukrainian word, roughly translated, means: your urine tastes of cigarettes.

(1,474 posts)He does have one quality all want in a narcissistic, traitorous, pussy grabbing, conman for a president:
He is seriously stupid. Not just stupid like other repugs.
He is bigly stupid.

(54,343 posts)Ковфєфє (transliteration: "Covfefe" is a perfectly normal Russian word. Negative press Ковфєфє is what happens to a country when it lets a narcissistic psychopath 70 year old showing the first signs of dementia become its leader, and the press, if still free, takes a dim view of that. Thus, there is negative press Ковфєфє.

(8,445 posts)Transient ischemic attack. I had one over a decade ago. It took me almost two years to get back to the way I was. My suspicion is that this happened and someone noticed the bizarre tweet and went to check on him, and now his people are trying to cover it up by tweeting in his place.
We'll see if he makes any kind of appearance today.
(In my case I wasn't overweight, but had been mostly inactive for a few months because of a deep depression over loss of several loved ones in a short period of time.)

(19,356 posts)Trump is in bed, tired and foggy.
He thinks he is beginning a sentence "Despite negative press coverage" and then initially planned to add an independent clause like: "my administration has accomplished more than any other in the first 120 days."
But he begins falling asleep 1/2 through "coverage" and types "covfefe" instead (note: the letters e, r, a, g, and e are all close to f, e, f, e). Then, thinking this is the end of his thoughts (imagining in his drifting off mind that he already had typed the independent clause at the beginning of the sentence), he hits the send button and enters slumberland.
It seems pretty clear.

(6,911 posts)That's exactly what Trump lacks---humility and the ability at self-deprecating humor. He is afraid of words, you are the exact opposite. Thanks for the post.

And another thing from that article that struck me - if they are concerned about what their child sees and hears, what parent lets an
11-year old watch Kathy Griffin?
Rorey
(8,445 posts)I'm not buying that Barron even saw the picture. An 11 year old shouldn't be allowed to watch certain things. Is nobody watching that kid?
Furthermore, there have been, and will continue to be, many crude and awful things publicized about 45. 45 brought this on to his family. Melania and the nannies better be vigilant if they want Barron to be shielded from them.

(12,647 posts)And so, there should be quite a lot of National Interest in the fact the man is up at 3am his own time making increasingly incoherent tweets. There's a major cognitive problem there, especially when adding his increasingly diminished ability to speak in a professional manner (let alone a conversational manner), and his random, rather low energy physical presence.
Shakespeare would describe him as being in his dotage...and the GOP continues to stand by him in his dotage so long as they can stuff their pockets with public money and resources before they drop him.
