US President Donald Trump gave his opponents the weapon of their life by tweeting a mysterious term "Covfefe" on Tuesday (May 30) night. The Trump bashers did not waste the opportunity to jump into the fray.
Mike Madden, the deputy editor of the Washington Post, tweeted for instance: "Covfefe (n): The feeling of simultaneously being glad you were still awake and reading Twitter but also wishing you'd already gone to bed," Madden tweeted, in an apparent reference to the US President's known habit of using the micro-blogging site late into the night."
Despite the constant negative press covfefe

The critics were also amazed that the president did not care to delete the tweet which was aimed at the media ["Despite the constant negative press covfefe"] and tried to find what the controversial leader was up to.
Whether Trump was typing in the dark and missed the keys [did he want to type 'coverage'?] or was really drunk is a question that people would ask initially. But after hours went by with the president caring little to delete the tweet, the question that became more relevant: Why is the most powerful man on earth busy making himself look a fool?
The way President Trump has conducted before the world after assuming the office has been hilarious. In things pertaining to the government policy, the Trump Administration has either displayed an attitude marked by prejudice or one of complete oversimplification. When it comes to his personal behaviour, Trump has made the world laugh at him – either at his clownish handshaking gestures or misdirected or meaningless tweets.
Casual Trump loses his Twitter plot completely
Trump, for one thing, has lost his Twitter plot completely. Like Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, he was also seen as a man who was using Twitter as an alternative to the mainstream media which has mostly seen him through critical eyes. But unlike Modi who made use of the media smartly with no-nonsense approach, Trump has only misused it to lose its effectiveness.
From attacking his opponents to the media to even individuals including a former beauty pageant and that too at odd hours, the American president used Twitter as his personal weapon and it has now started showing signs of wear out.
Trump's biggest folly is his superiority complex which blinds him from seeing his actual image on the mirror. While meeting international leaders, he considers himself to be bigger than his country's interests and reduces his own stature as well as that of the United States before the world. It is difficult to predict where the megalomaniac in Trump will take his country to but given his casual hobnobbing with his own strong points [read tweeting], it is very unlikely that America will be great again in the near future.
