Sorry if this has been posted already. Joshua Feuerstein, a very popular evangelical vlogger, is now claiming that "Covfefe" was intentional and is a Biblical term that means "In the end, we win."

I tend to think he just mistyped "coverage" as "covfefe" because of sleep deprivation or he may have had a few too many. What do you think?

Sorry, come up with another story. Trump has only cracked a bible when he was in campaign mode. Quoting from a book of the Bible he was told to go to. Trump hates to read so it's doubtful if he has ever read the Bible.

Even if we accept that "covfefe" does mean "in the end we win" and is a biblical reference (nothing of substance to back that up though; just a reference to someone who says it's true), we have to also accept that Donald Trump knew this. That's the part that I feel is harder to accept. He's not religious, obviously. And even if he was, most Christians don't know what covfefe means, and even then, I still doubt that it means what this man says it means. But if it does, only bible scholars and theologians would likely know this, and Trump is none of those things.

Of course, that word is used many times in Two Corinthians.

Plus, I will note that President Trump got around to tweeting “Who can figure out the true meaning of ‘covfefe’ ??? Enjoy!”


It is one of the few instances of self-deprecating sense of humor he has ever shown.

Trump doesn't drink. That's what makes these mindless tweets even more worrisome. Who tweets at 3AM sober?

Why does it not surprise me that Joshua Feuerstein is the one that came up with this.

Update: So I looked into this Diane Marshall person, and turns out, I was wrong. Because on her blog, she posted this: https://themarshallreport.wordpress....ystery-solved/

Pretty convincing argument. She says that the sons of Adam, who totally existed for real, often used the word, but stopped after the flood, which is why no dictionary or scholar recognized the word, as it doesn't appear in the Bible, since you know, it wasn't written until after the flood.

Now, if it's not clear, I'm obviously being sarcastic. This is the stupidest **** I've ever heard.

It was a typo. I saw some equally crazy crap that claimed it was Arabic, but nobody I know who is Middle Eastern and fluent in Arabic has ever heard of it or ever used it and given Trump's poor grasp of English, I doubt he's an Arabic scholar.
