Planning Donald Trump's covfefe legacy

Undoubtedly, the only memorable relic to remember Donald Trump in history will be the Tweets he has posted throughout his pursuit of and eventual election to the office of President. Since then, he has also sent out nonsensical communications. Like when he talked about the invisible airplane.
An F35 aircraft- does this airplane look like it's invisible? Donald Trump says it's "invisible".

Donald Trump's Twitter legacy will outlast him, like the Egyptian's hieroglyphics survived the reign of the Pharaohs.  Of course, even ancient Egyptian scribes knew what kind of legacy to write in praise of the Pharaohs. Practically all the messages were accolades. Donald Trump should take lessons from ancient Egyptian scribes, because they "got it".  In other words, every word the scribes carved into a manuscript were about something noteworthy.  On the other hand, what Donald Trump posts on Twitter would get him failing grades, if Egyptian scribes were his teachers.

For some strange reason, Donald Trump doesn't understand how Twitter is his only lasting legacy. By his continuous Tweeting, Trump diminishes the office he holds, especially when he posts nonsense. 

Remember the craziness in the one word Tweet "covfefe?" There's never been an explanation about that particularly incoherent Tweet, but now the neologism, created by Trump, has a place in the Urban Dictionary.  

Then, there was the recent Tweets of condolence, that Trump sent to the wrong town, following yet another mass murder gun violence incident.  

Trump tweets condolences to wrong town after mass shooting

In fact, Trump tweeted condolences for a mass shooting to the incorrect town.

Tuesday's tragedy happened when a gunman with a semi-automatic rifle and two handguns opened fire on four victims at multiple locations in the small Northern California town of Rancho Tehama. The suspect wounded more victims at an elementary school before law enforcement shot and killed him.

Trump's Twitter response, which has since been deleted from his account but is timestamped at 11:34 p.m. on November 14, mentioned another mass shooting at First Baptist Church in Sutherland Springs, Texas, which occurred on November 5, killing 26 people and injuring 20 more.

"May God be with the people of Sutherland Springs, Texas. The FBI and Law Enforcement has arrived," Mr. Trump wrote in the tweet, offering thoughts and prayers to the wrong town.


It appears the response Mr. Trump intended for the victims of the violent incident in California was mis-directed by his initial tweet, regarding the Sutherland Springs shooting. In other words, Donald Trump appears to be easily confused.

"May God be w/ the people of Sutherland Springs, Texas," the November 5 tweet reads. "The FBI & law enforcement are on the scene. I am monitoring the situation from Japan."

MaineWriter- sadly, there are too many American mass shootings to keep track of.

Most recently, Donald Trump even made up a situation about the stealth characteristics of the F35 aircraft. During Thanksgiving Day remarks presented to the US Coast Guard in Florida, Trump said the airplane being used by the Air Force is invisible to radar and even, apparantly, to the human eyes.

Trump told a US coast guard audience that the air force was ordering a new plane that was “almost like an invisible fighter”.

The plane in question, the F-35, is not invisible, though it is unusually small and designed to be less visible to radar than conventional aircraft. Its development, however, has proved all too visibly costly and riddled with problems.
The Guardian Reports: Trump first startled reporters with talk of an invisible plane in October, when he discussed the F-35 at a military briefing in hurricane-hit Puerto Rico.

“Amazing job,” Trump said then. “So amazing we are ordering hundreds of millions of dollars of new airplanes for the air force, especially the F-35. You like the F-35? ... You can’t see it. You literally can’t see it. It’s hard to fight a plane you can’t see.”

Trump also said: “That’s an expensive plane you can’t see. As you heard, we cut the price very substantially. Something that other administrations would never have done – that I can tell you.”

According to the pool report of the president’s Thanksgiving Day visit to Coast Guard Station Lake Worth Inlet, in Florida, Trump told his audience he had discussed the “invisible” plane with “some air force guys”. 

He asked them, he said, if it would perform in a dogfight like similar planes he had seen in movies.

“They said: ‘Well, it wins every time because the enemy cannot see it, even if it’s right next to it, it can’t see it,’” Trump said.

The coast guard members laughed, some perhaps aware that the president speaking to them about the air force was a reversal of his remarks in Puerto Rico in October, when he spoke to an air force audience about the coast guard.

Contra to his earlier expressions of pride about being responsible for a cut in the cost of the F-35 – a claim that experts have said is at best contestable – Trump also told coast guard members of his pride in having increased military spending.

MaineWriter- unfortunately, Donald Trump's nonsensical Twitter and randomly delivered extemporaneous remarks will be his unbalanced legacy.
