Tweet That: #Covfefe Signals @Realdonaldtrump Is Back

Covfefe (cuv-fey-fey) noun: A sure sign that President Donald Trump has regained control of his Twitter account.

- 

For more than a week, the tweets from @ realDonaldTrump were, well, boring.

Throughout his first big foreign trip last week, Trump’s tweets had the vibe of a garden-variety politician: statements of solidarity with world leaders, retweets of his wife’s visits with students and sick children, video clips from arrival statements and formal ceremonies, photos of official dinners.

Yawn.

Well, Twitterverse, he’s back.

Starting with a wee-hours tweet that contained the mystifying nonword “covfefe,” Trump on Wednesday unleashed a string of tweets that showed the president was holding nothing back, on matters both trivial and consequential.

He lashed out at the government’s Russia investigation as a “Witch Hunt!”

He scolded celebrity Kathy Griffin for a video that showed what looked like Trump’s severed head: “My children, especially my 11-year-old son, Barron, are having a hard time with this. Sick!”
