Just saw a linguist's funny take on "covfefe"

Sorry if this has been posted already:

“Given that President Trump was coming close to exhausting all methods of not making sense (for example, avoiding grammar) while continuing to utter words, it was inevitable that he would eventually begin to dismantle words themselves on his awesome crusade to deconstruct meaning and do away with the idea of a common language,” emailed Struck,

"What we we will hear next from Mr. Trump are vowels and consonants that we’ve never heard before and that could be mistaken for grunts. As before in human history, they will suffice to attract a following.”
