The #covfefe thing was funny, but (yes, there's something serious)

[Saviolo]

So, Trump deleted the tweet from last night and made a playful joking one this morning.

Link to tweet

He thinks we're laughing WITH him, everyone.

And that may sound like a joke, but honestly, he's the kind of guy who thinks, "Hey, everyone's looking at me, that can only be good. Look at all the attention this Tweet got me!" The more attention he gets for crazy things, the more crazy his things will get, folks. His handlers at the high levels of the GOP know this. A little flattery, toss his name in there, stroke the ego, and *BAM* GOP policy pops out. He's easily manipulated by feeding his overwhelming need for approval while at the same time overloading his incredibly short attention span.

I giggled a lot over the whole thing last night ('cause don't we all need a laugh about now?) but it's a symptom of other things happening.

1. This something new in the tRump twitterverse

a lame attempt at self-deprecating humor. President Obama would've done it better, but then he has been schooled in humility by the great women in his life.

2. It would have been a lame attempt at self-deprecating humor IF he had written it himself...

...but I guaran-damn-tee you someone wrote it for him to try and smooth over his abject fuck-up.

3. Gmta, I bet he was furious aft the reaction and someone else wrote this tweet

4. He's testing out his new legion of bot followers

He wants to see if the bots are nicer than his human followers, who are all writing nasty things about him.
The bots are only re-tweeting nice things, so the test worked.

Time to quit Twitter, once and for all.

5. True meaning of covfefe: We have an incompetent President, can't get a tweet right.

6. I don't think it's funny at all.

This is coming out of the man who holds our nuclear codes. The tweet is another indication that he is off his fucking rocker. Nothing funny about that, especially since not a goddamn thing is being done to remove this nutjob from office.
