Didn't Trump come back and make a joke about his typo?  Something about "figure it out, have fun"?

@Sanguine

He did.  "Who can know the meaning of covfefe? Enjoy!"  I thought it was funny.

If Mr. Spicer expects people to believe that there is some secret meaning behind Trump's tweet, he must be drinking a particularly strong adult bevfefe.

Who is?   Look at the turnover rate for that job.  I think you would have to be a cold, emotionless (shark?) kind of person to be "good at" that job.   You know.... maybe an attorney could do it....lolol.

@CatherineofAragon

Who is?   It wouldn't matter who was in that position, the press and other detractors, would pick at anything to make Trump look bad.  If they can't find something they'll invent it. 

This is a purposeful tactic by the Dems.   Create so much chaos that it keeps Trump from hiring good people to fill the myriad of positions and prevents action on making policy changes.

@driftdiver

Like I said to Xena, I certainly don't think Spicer is the only possible man for the job.  Of course the left is going to harass the person at that podium, but so what?  That's even more reason to choose carefully, pick someone who can handle the room.  Otherwise we're throwing up our hands and letting the left manipulate us into settling for mediocrity because, oh, well, we're victims.

Trump takes a large share of the blame for the chaos in his own administration.  The other day I read that he's filled only a small percentage of the positions he needs to fill.

LMAO!  I envision a whole new language evolving from this one.  It will make Klingon passé!

@CatherineofAragon

OR we find a decently qualified person and stop playing the media's game.   During the campaign Trump always attacked.  He never defended anything he said or did.   It was an extremely effective strategy.

He's been trying to pay defense the last couple months.  He doesn't do it well.   Since his overseas trip he's been more on the attack mode and it seems to be working better.   This tweet is one example.  Instead of admitting it was a mistake he makes a joke of it.

Less golfing.   More firing & hiring (in that order).

IMHO I think our country would be far better off if the majority of our Govt went golfing every single day.

And a very good joke, at that.  It did, in fact, keep the morons busy.  At least for a while.  Trump's version, no doubt, of Idiot's Delight.

Folks, it was a typo. He meant "Coverage".

However, he's playing everyone and everyone else is obsessed with it.

It gets our eyes off the political troubles he is facing.

 I'm sure that is true. Put yourself in his shoes. You are holding our iPhone with very, very tiny hands. It is hard to reach all the numbers on the keypad. Sometimes those short little fingers miss the buttons. Instead of stopping to correct himself and proofread, he just hits send. It must be very frustrating and sad having dwarfish hands trying to use a 5" phone.

We should feel sorry for him.

Spicer is just trying to spare his feelings. I'm sure he is sensitive about it just like Obama and his Dumbo ears.
