Now here's a photo from our U.S. armed forces in the field worth a look:
It's an M109 self-propelled tank from an undisclosed field location, bearing President Trump's cryptic Twitter typo, COVFEFE, according to the Daily Caller, which ran the picture yesterday. COVFEFE was the subject of much speculation, mostly on the left, as to what it might have meant. In this case, one of the troops has helpfully given the answer: rising military morale. You never saw such repetitions of presidential words during the Obama administration. Did anyone ever stamp 'You didn't build that' or 'If you like your health care' on one of the barrels of a howitzer?
It comes against the backdrop of two things.
One, military morale has been disastrously low, with the military rating the legacy of Commander in Chief Obama in acidic terms across every service. Morale reached a rock bottom low in 2015 with 52% of the troops across all branches "pessimistic about their future," and 70% expecting it to get even worse, representing a 30-point plunge since Obama came to office, according to a Military Times poll. That was after the military spent $287 million during six of the Obama years on an "optimism program." Go figure that one out - sweet deal for some NGO sociology-majors probably. The various analysts of this survey cited bad pay, troop drawdowns, lack of support from Washington in the deployments in hellholes like Afghanistan and Iraq, and micromanaging of field decisions from the lawyers and White House petty officials. But most of all, there was commander-in-chief who didn't believe in their mission - and who didn't believe in victory. He just preferred to let the wars slog on and the soldiers pay the price.

It’s not a tank....
It’s a simple typo and folks trying to make it more than that are silly.
That’s the nicest term I can come up with.
“Self propelled tank” is a redundancy.
Operation COVFEFE.
IIRC, the author of the original article corrected it after publishing it. I gather the hardware is a self-propelled howitzer.
Regardless that the author doesn’t know what self propelled artillery is (and that it’s not the same thing as tanks), it’s cool that the crew would stencil “covfefe” on their gun. No way in hell would they have stenciled any of 0bama’s gibberish on it.
Not if it throws a track!
It means "I will stand" in Arabic.
It also is an acronym:
Comey
Obviously
Violated
FBI
Ethics
Fabricating
Evidence
Not in Switzerland; -)
Who knows what kind of catchphrase President Trump will tweet out next but it's coming.
Well, I just hope whoever did it doesn’t come in for the same ration of excrement that the personnel flying that flag on their vehicle did a while back.

Page down about half-way.
“Despite the constant negative press covfefe,”
I do not see how anyone can get “covfefe” as a typo! Even of one did, one’s spell-checker would rapidly turn it into “coffee”!!!!
Form context, “covfefe” means negative and fakey CNN-style anti-Trump propaganda!!!! That all it is!!!!
“Covfefe” is now a new American English word! I’m sure that our President will coin others in the future!!!!
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again,
NEVER MISUNDERESTIMATE THE COVFEFE!
Agree. Gotta let the troops have some fun.
Yes it is a typo. All they have to do is look at their keyboard. The president probably meant to type “cover” but went from c o v e to the letter f and then back to the e again. At least that is what I think
