Here’s a bold claim: President Trump’s “covfefe” tweet was a genius move that is a very powerful demonstration of his ability to persuade. I know, I know—it sounds crazy. But hear me out; what do you have to lose? Consider this a whimsical thought experiment to counter the ill effects of consuming too much of the fake news out there.
The case for the genius and power of covfefe begins with the question of whether the tweet might be intentional. Recent revelations―that “covfefe” might actually be a phonetic spelling of an Arabic word meaning “I will stand up” (spelled “c-o-v f-e-‘-f-e” if you use Google Translate)―suggest it might be. Of course, Arabic and English do not share a common alphabet and Arabic has many dialects, so there is a high probability of a bad translation either way.
Skeptics (and fierce anti-Trumpers) will argue that no Arabic speaker would say this strictly translates, and this may be true. But that is hardly relevant. If Trump is signaling, it probably is not to Arabic speakers writ large, in which case a version translatable by Google is sufficient even if intellectuals sneer at the linguistic prowess of “stupid” Trump supporters.
The fact remains: Either it was intentional or it was an intensely strange and coincidental mistake.
The common interpretation appears to b
e that Trump, whether because of incompetence, exhaustion, or ill-health, was trying to type the word coverage when he wrote covfefe. Even if you don’t assume Trump is a moron, this is possible as it was an early morning tweet and Trump is in his seventies. But you would have to believe that Trump missed a major typo and then tweeted an incomplete and incoherent message while passing out for some reason. And what was supposed to come after coverage? “Despite the constant media coverage…” is hardly a complete thought. He has had minor typos in his tweets in the past, but I am not aware of a major typo or an incomplete tweet like this since he revolutionized presidential communications using Twitter on the campaign trail and while in office.
The other possibility is that President Trump was writing “despite the negative press I will stand up” by using what he understood to be an Arabic phrase. He did just return from the Arab world, and it is possible that someone there taught him this word to encourage him to stand strong. Or perhaps someone said “I will stand up” to Trump in response to his speech in Saudi Arabia, in which he said:
If we do not stand in uniform condemnation of this killing—then not only will we be judged by our people, not only will we be judged by history, but we will be judged by God….America is prepared to stand with you — in pursuit of shared interests and common security…That means honestly confronting the crisis of Islamist extremism and the Islamist terror groups it inspires. And it means standing together against the murder of innocent Muslims, the oppression of women, the persecution of Jews, and the slaughter of Christians.
That he learned it incorrectly or does not understand how properly to translate it into English is still very possible—much is lost in Arabic to English translations. But wherever or however he learned the Arabic word (if, indeed, he did) the resulting tweet is far more coherent than it would be if covfefe was just a misspelling of coverage.
So which is more probable? What is the likelihood that Trump failed to finish his thought and made a major typo that just happens to 1) be so close to a translatable Arabic phrase so soon on the heels of a trip to the Arab world, 2) have meaning in the context, 3) make a useful point, and 4) be in a strategically useful language in which to communicate? Is it more probable than the idea that Trump is being a show man, innovative communicator, and intentional user of Twitter?
Both seem possible, but the latter explanation seems more likely to this observer. If you have Trump Derangement Syndrome and you’ve read this far, you will probably want to disembark from my “crazy train” at this point.
But if you are willing to consider that the tweet may be intentional, you probably want to know why the president might be doing all of this. This question was posed by Jonah Goldberg in a sneering article: “[I]it may all be trolling, but what on Earth does that get the president?” Now, if one has TDS as Goldberg does, it is hard to even get as far as thinking that it might have been intentional, so we should give him some credit.
Yet for TDS sufferers, it is still impossible, apparently, to get past the idea that such tweeting could rise above vulgar trolling (even despite how much such people are inclined to praise anti-trump trolling). Funny how that works.
The anti-Trump trolling the “covfefe” tweet elicited may be where we find the real answer to Goldberg’s larger question: Why would the President use a strange Arabic phrase to communicate something when so many people obviously don’t get it?
Consider this: In creating a vague message that can play to many different confirmation biases, Trump and Trump supporters can learn about people from the way they respond. Additionally, the response elicited from people with TDS reminds people who like Trump why it is important to stay involved.
If you hate Trump but you are willing to hide your disdain and pretend to like him for your own ends, you probably dismissed the tweet as mere stupidity or an accident. You certainly did not give it much thought, and you almost assuredly laugh at people who did. This may reveal your true bias, or it may simply indicate that you are not thinking much anymore.
align=”right” In short, creating a vague message using a new word he just learned allows him and others in his camp to separate people by bias and thinking. It also may be a way to continue a campaign tactic of motivating people by showing them how much they are hated by the establishment and how little the establishment thinks of their ability to govern themselves.
If you neither love nor hate Trump but are willing to wait and see, you might have laughed at the tweet. But if provided with a thoughtful investigation, you might consider it. And you may, in the end, still reject the idea that it was anything but a mistake. But the listening and thinking part is important. This signals to people that you are still a thinking person. You might even move toward Trump’s side of things after seeing the hate filled responses from those with TDS.
Finally, if you like Trump you probably gave him the benefit of the doubt right off the bat and tried to think through what was going on. Knowing now what covfefe might mean, you probably like it and maybe even use it, perhaps as a hashtag. Doing so serves as a signal to other people who like Trump. This can be motivating since secret messages and symbols tend to unite people and inspire them. And as said earlier, the prolific response from unthinking, hate-filled masses on the other side probably inspires you to―*ahem*―stand up yourself.
In short, creating a vague message using a new word he just learned allows him and others in his camp to separate people by bias and thinking. It also may be a way to continue a campaign tactic of motivating people by showing them how much they are hated by the establishment and how little the establishment thinks of their ability to govern themselves.
If this is the case, some might lament that he is dividing us and this is poor statesmanship. But if his considered assessment at this point is that there is no uniting us―which is not an insane conclusion given the many months of vitriol on the Left and sneering contempt on the Right—then what is he supposed to do? At that point, winning elections is the only way to pursue the common good.
Or maybe Trump was just signaling to the person who taught him the word back in the Middle East. Perhaps he was continuing his strategic messaging to people in the Middle East that began in his speech. Maybe the tweet was originally meant for one of these two geopolitical purposes, but upon seeing the reaction, Trump adapted and decided to use it in a new way. His follow on tweet telling us to enjoy figuring out what it means and Sean Spicer’s cryptic statement to the press suggest this might be the case.
If true, it explains why Trump has left it a mystery and it may be why he took the tweet down or used a bad translation to start with. The ambiguity of it all, which exists no matter what I say here so long as Trump himself does not reveal his intentions, perpetuates the usefulness of covfefe. Those who believe have only faith to go on, so covfefe becomes a symbol of faith. Those who scoff have only bias to go on, and so scoffing signals bias. And the longer it persists, the stronger the symbol becomes and the more motivating the scoffers’ condescension is to those Trump needs to mobilize.
align=”left” Others may laugh at all of this and try to shame those who consider it. But as for me, covfefe.
If and when it becomes expedient for Trump to reveal what he meant by covfefe, the tweet and covfefe will be useful in a different way. At that point, those who were so certain Trump is stupid will have egg on their faces. It won’t change much for them, for haters are going to hate. And they may not believe Trump, even then. But I imagine it will provide a surge of inspiration to those who have been loyal to him. And then covfefe, or “I will stand up,” will be a rallying cry for those who support Trump and a bitter pill for those who oppose him.
None of this would be true if Trump had simply tweeted “despite the constant negative press I will stand up” in English, for it would have been ignored and forgotten. So if all of this true, then there is a certain genius in the tweet and it might prove to be very powerful. It also might reflect that Trump realizes that we are still very much in a bare knuckle, no-holds-barred brawl and some spiritedness is necessary to keep on winning. Now is no time to rest on one’s laurels or lean on outdated ways that only ever apply to one side in the struggle.
And if not, then the tweet itself has already played out Trump’s own words. It has elicited a great deal of negative press coverage. And Trump has stood up regardless. Others may laugh at all of this and try to shame those who consider it. But as for me, covfefe.

This article is an example of Trump brown nosing syndrome.
I’ve been on the Trump train since the ride down the escalator but my take is he started a tweet and got called away. Who hasn’t sent a weird text? Tweeting is no different. And Trump only needs 4 to 5 hours of sleep.
What I love is that he’s having such a good time with it. Donald Trump is secure enough in himself (if you’ve done it you’re not bragging) that he doesn’t need to have everyone love him. That’s why he doesn’t cave as most needy politicians do.
Mistake or intentional, it’s a great sounding word that has entered our vocabulary and got the media talking about it for days.
Covfefe, Mr. President!
If he is so secure in himself, then why was the tweet deleted?
What did the tweet do.
Got the media and the haters fired up.
Then when the word got out everyone shut up. So how does Trump lite that fire again?
Delete the Tweet.
Boom.
You people crack me up because you positively don’t get it.
And I love that fact.
Covfefe
That tweet didn’t get anyone fired up. It made it look like he had a stroke.
Now that was great satire!
Trump isn’t as smart as you’d like to believe he is.
Trump isn’t as smart as I’d like to believe a Yorkshire Pudding is.
President Trump’s IQ is in the 140 range.
Lol, surely you jest! As a PhD who hangs out with PhDs and other smart people, Trump is NOT among them. The only people who believe his IQ is 140 are idiots that have never known a person with an IQ in the 1% range.
Have a great day!
I used to work with PhDs. They thought they were smart but we sent them on busywork because they really weren’t.
But you can charge a lot more for a PhD. Billable hours and all.
Ah… another intellect.

You realize majority of what you copy and pasted are fake accomplishments?
Actually no, It’s happening, and would likely be bigger if not for power monger congress fear of losing their beloved power.
1. We never provided abortion funding overseas.
2. The actual wall isn’t being built.
3. CAFE isn’t gone just under review
4. Coal still a dying industry
I could keep going but I don’t have the time and you would just cover your ears and eyes while screaming “lalalalalalala” because the truth scares you.

What you don’t get is that Trump’s supporters don’t care about people like you: it’s clear you have no intention of taking seriously anyone who isn’t in lockstep agreement with you, and the virtue signaling has gotten out of hand.
yeah, its trump that isnt taken seriously. not the media. ok.
You suffer from dyslexia?
Or are you just a dumbazz?
“Taken seriously”?? My, my, we have a high opinion of ourselves, sir. Naturally assuming that we actually give a single thought to how you, ah, people of no consequence, take us.
Covfefe.
Great satire piece, keep it up!
I was hoping it was his brain turning completely into mush before he collapsed on the floor. Or some secret service agent under orders from his parents shot the phone out of his hands and then stomped it into tiny pieces.
What a blithering idiot.
There isn’t any V in Arabic

Thanks for diminishing a little bit of the credibility we have as military officers.
you are certainly doing an excellent job of that yourself.
Agreed,
Oh and one other thing from a military enlisted.
At least his photo is in focus.
You might qualify as a Marine.
If so, I can say this with complete confidence…LOL
Given the type who have been left behind in the officers’ corps, there’s not much there any more anyway.
It is shocking that a serving Army officer would be so delusional, much less one tasked with teaching young minds. Donald Trump is an idiot and long compromised by the SVR. I had hopes that your comment was satire or somehow in jest, but you are earnest in your willful ignorance.
If this is a commonly expressed viewpoint among our ‘Army Leadership’, then I fear for our military.

Are you a professional killer?
Well, Democrats and Entitlement Monkeys are certainly covfefe’ing themselves daily!!!
Worse than an Obama apologist, you defend the seething toad
If nothing else, Covfefe has made the libs unhinged. Just look at the insults below.
Was covfefe the code for some GCC’s cutting diplomatic relations with Qatar? Or, a new coffee bean from Ethiopia that instantly cures TDS?
It seems to me that, if nothing else, covfefe is like a Rorschach inkblot – what people say about it tells you far more about them than about it.

I hope you get some treatment for your traumatic brain injury.
Please tell me you didn’t get paid to write this. That maybe you were drunk, or did some ‘shrooms, and this is what you came up with. And then as a goof, this website decided to publish it. That’s the only scenario that makes any sense.
Actually it’s a very well written article.
You too must be an intellect.
Satire is difficult to write.
TRUMP is a genius strategist and master persuader. If you read Scott Adams’ writing for near two years on TRUMP’s use of persuasion you would know that. Only imbeciles think he is just “lucky.”
Or Trump is just an idiot. Yeah, let’s go with that.
Or you are the idiot.
So blind you don’t see.
And like it or not (with you it’s clearly not)
He’s winning
Oh, he’s winning? That’s what it is? see, I thought he was embarrassing himself and the nation with his stupidity and his non-stop attacks on our allies and his love of Russia. I thought his obstruction of justice, including his admission of obstruction to Lester Holt, was just him being an idiot. I thought his inability to pass any major legislation even with both chambers being GOP was losing, but he’s actually winning! Got it…thanks so much for clarifying.
I tend to think Trump deliberately messed with peoples’ heads, simply because he has a history of doing that (and it has a history of working out well for him, and backfiring on the people who gloat about how much smarter they are than he is).
Your explanation makes as much sense as any.
Someone who gets it.
How refreshing to see.
What’s most probable is Trump began tweeting, and then decided not to bother and go to bed instead never realizing that he had sent the incomplete tweet until he woke up a few hours later.
Essentially, “Covefefe” was the tweet version of a butt dial.
maybe the next time the guy scratches his balls you forego the 17 Part Series of Ill Considered Articles deconstructing it. but that would take actual common sense and journalistic ethics. so…not happening.
So much for the pledge here that “American Greatness” will never be a “shill” for Trump.
To maintain any kind of credibility here, which is already on life support, you sometimes have to acknowledge that the Glorious Leader didn’t quite get it right. This was a clear typo, nothing more, that in no way is part of a Grand Strategy.
Agreed. This website treats Trump the way North Korean media treats Kim Jung Un. Shame on American Greatness for publishing such rubbish. Apparently it has no editorial standards.
I remember that time I misspelled a word, then went to delete it… and because the buttons are so small I hit “return” which sent the message.
Trump tosses a word Frisbee and the press runs after it like a pack of crazed border collies .
If Obama said it, it would already be included in the merriam webster dictionary. We are just lucky the flag doesn’t have 57 stars now.
So a typo is now synonymous with than ancient Christian “fish” symbol? Seriously?
Do you have any idea how many texts people send when they are sleepy or not wearing their glasses or just aren’t being careful that end up in nonsensical words like that?
You’re like the pseudo intellectual who spends an hour discussing the deep meaning of the new sculpture on display at the museum only to find out it’s a pile of rags left over by the janitors!
Is this from the Onion?
