What is covfefe? (I wrote a thing)

What is covfefe?

How do I define covfefe? I don't. Covfefe is a made up word. Covfefe, by my best guess, is a typo that happened when Donald Trump (hereafter referred to as 45*, strictly in the interest of brevity) fell asleep while attempting to send out a tweet attacking the lying lugenpresse. You see, the problem with an active, investigative free-press is that they will tell the truth about your shady dealings with the Russian mob, so you've got to attack them and call them dishonest. That way, the moronic, Oxycontin-addled base that supports you will be more likely to disbelieve the press and believe your bullshit.

Covfefe is the result of a 72-year-old man's attempt to discredit the Fourth Estate. 45* was trying to let everyone know, once again, that the press had been unfair to him. *single tear* *tiny violin* And he was sending out a very important tweet to let everyone know it. The problem was that he fell asleep in the middle of tweeting (possibly on the toilet, we'll never know), and thus the non-word-word "covfefe" came into existence.

Covefe means nothing. Covfefe is not a word. Covfefe literally made Merriam-Webster throw up their hands and give up. Yes, I'm using the world literally loosely here, but if Merriam-Webster had arms, they would literally have thrown them up right here:

So my best guess is that the dude had a brain fart and nodded out. But everyone has their theories. Hillary thought it was a secret message to the Russians: https://www.cnn.com/2017/05/31/politics/hillary-clinton-covfefe/index.html

The tweet in question occurred at 12:06 AM on May 31, 2018. It read, in it's entirety, "Despite the negative press covfefe". He attacked the media three times in tweets in March 2017 using the same word, "despite". I think this gives weight to my argument. This covfefe tweet was simply another attempt to discredit the Fourth Estate, one of the foundational pillars of our democracy. But then Agent Orange passed out on the can. Or maybe his short fat fingers couldn't hit the right keys on his twitter machine. Theories abound..

One theory is that he accidentally tweeted out the nuclear launch codes. Sean Spicer contributed to the nonsense with his answer: “I think the president and a small group of people knew exactly what he meant.”

45* himself, added fuel to the absurdity by deleting the original tweet and sending out a tweet the next day which read, "Who can figure out the true meaning of "covfefe" ??? Enjoy!"

Enjoy? Like we're supposed to get some kind of thrill out of attempting to decipher the moronic ramblings of an incoherent, doddering old dotard who fell asleep on the commode? Get real. Enjoy being impeached.
