Last night just after midnight his time Trump had a brainfart on Twitter.
“Despite the constant negative press covfefe,” the tweet began, at 12:06 a.m., from @realDonaldTrump, the irrepressible internal monologue of his presidency.

*(n)onsensical.
Meanwhile, I am wondering what Merriam Webster meant when they said “Lookups fo…”
