There has been much speculation as to the originally intended word. “Coverage’ has come up a lot.
My personal opinion is COVFEFE was supposed to mean “kerfuffle” but he had no idea how to spell it. It means “a commotion or fuss, especially one caused by conflicting views.” Kind of where the nation is at, don’t you think? You try writing “kerfuffle.” Watch auto-correct go wacko.
It has been obvious for a while that this is not a man who ever won a spelling bee. Personally, I am still opting for good old-fashioned senile dementia. He was always a really nasty, racist asshole, but he wasn’t always quite this stupid. I think the senility was creeping in for a while and the pressure of the presidency just kicked it up 250%.
There are those convinced that he was trying to call up an evil so great no country can defeat it.
As for me, I’m going with senile dementia, poor spelling, and auto-correct.

Here’s an interesting bit from the Daily KOS
“During a discussion on how to cover Trump, the former New York Observer editor, Elizabeth Spiers, claimed she told Kushner that she had serious problems with Trump’s repeated claims that Obama was not born in the U.S., to which Kushner allegedly told her: “He doesn’t really believe it, Elizabeth. He just knows Republicans are stupid and they’ll buy it.”
What “pot” referring to what “kettle” ?

He just likes attention and manufactured drama (added to everything else his is and isn’t). He could have “invented” this word just for that (doubtful…) He’s a tool.

He IS a tool, but I’m pretty sure he was trying to say something too. He is not clever enough to make words up. Whatever it was!

I think he was trying to say “coffee” or “covert” or “I’m an idiot.” It’s really hard to know :p

It is. He may have been reciting the Gettysburg Address and never quite got the main piece. Babble and gibberish.

The weight of the office is enough to drive the best of us nuts. You could well have a diagnosis here.

We used to be pretty smart, but the dumbing down of America has been in progress for a lot of years and I think it has done the job. We are officially a stupid country.

That’s the best meaning and explanation I’ve heard yet!! On May 9, the day after Comey was fired, Chris Matthews tweeted that “Trumpdy Dumpdy had a great fall.” I sent that to a friend, and later received the following:
Trumpdy Dumpdy ran on a wall
Trumpdy Dumpdy had a great fall
Cuz all his voters are miserably dense
We are all stuck now with Trumpdy and Pence

Senile dementia? Sounds a bit off the Trump, but that doesn’t mean it ain’t so!

He’s the right age and it is very common. He hasn’t exactly been doing the kind of things that helps keep the mind sharp, either. Too much heavy food. And, he doesn’t read or write. What else could explain his stupidity?

What else indeed, is he stupid or is it all an act to feed his psychopathic tendencies? He must be a psychopath to come out with all his bull and misogyny AND still he was elected to POTUS.
