        “Look, having nuclear — my uncle was a great professor and scientist and engineer, Dr. John Trump at MIT; good genes, very good genes, OK, very smart, the Wharton School of Finance, very good, very smart — you know, if you’re a conservative Republican, if I were a liberal, if, like, OK, if I ran as a liberal Democrat, they would say I’m one of the smartest people anywhere in the world — it’s true! — but when you’re a conservative Republican they try — oh, do they do a number — that’s why I always start off: Went to Wharton, was a good student, went there, went there, did this, built a fortune — you know I have to give my like credentials all the time, because we’re a little disadvantaged — but you look at the nuclear deal, the thing that really bothers me — it would have been so easy, and it’s not as important as these lives are — nuclear is so powerful; my uncle explained that to me many, many years ago, the power and that was 35 years ago; he would explain the power of what’s going to happen and he was right, who would have thought? — but when you look at what’s going on with the four prisoners — now it used to be three, now it’s four — but when it was three and even now, I would have said it’s all in the messenger; fellas, and it is fellas because, you know, they don’t, they haven’t figured that the women are smarter right now than the men, so, you know, it’s gonna take them about another 150 years — but the Persians are great negotiators, the Iranians are great negotiators, so, and they, they just killed, they just killed us, this is horrible.”

            the words never mattered. he personally resonated with the fox news watching old folks coast to coast by showing them he was just like them in all the worst ways.

        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.

                  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 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.
