Trumps "genius" in the covfefe tweet

so there's something thats floating around out there i cam across this morning that made me literally laugh out loud while reading it. some conservative website has written a piece about how Trump actually is a genius that is playing chess while the rest of us are playing checkers. little did we realize that "covfefe" is actually some arabic translation for "I will stand" or something like that. So they are saying he was writing, "despite the negative press, i will stand". we'll see if i get a response in the comments, but i asked, if he was such a genius why did he delete it 5 hrs later? the lengths these people go to to carry water for this buffoon. does anyone really think trump is out there researching ways to get arabic into his tweets? plus, that is covfe'fe.

depending on the circumstance IMO I've seen conservatives continue to espouse a viewpoint despite evidence to the contrary as a joke or a troll. the person who posted the article in your OP may have believed it, but other commentary in support of trump on the website could likely have been done with a wink and a nudge with their knowledge that the US has regained a white leader who will look out for interests of white America.

and roused just enough to hit send thinking that he was done when he wasn't.

This stretching for some mystical/intelligent meaning that makes Trumptwit look better is ridiculous and makes those that do so look even more idiotic... if that's possible.

Anyway, here's Snopes on this. Please note the tweet by the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee saying, "We have received many inquiries over the past few days. We can unequivocally say #covfefe is NOT an Arabic word."
