Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

He has said it several times now. I'm still confused by it.
I’m guessing he made a typo but doesn’t want to admit it, so now he’s locked in.
Covfefe 2.0
Exactly what I was thinking. It's a common pattern of his; he can't ever be wrong, so when he fucks up he has to act like it was intentional.
This one is going to be extra funny though because his cult will immediately try to imitate it, and we'll get to see them all stumbling over trying to pronounce "Kamabla"
You just made me realize, maybe that’s the point.
He generally refuses to say her name correctly, with the hard first ‘a’ instead of the flatter one. However when you use “blah”, it’s generally a flat ‘a’, and you’d almost never use that hard ‘a’ for “blah” unless you were being sarcastic. Anyways, when using “blah” like you should say her first ‘a’, he now shows he could say it right, he just refuses to.
Giving him too much credit there I think.
Well, yes. But it linguistically triggers english readers into saying her name incorrectly. Even trying to say her name right after using “Kamablah” is difficult to a native speaker.
He's deleted typos in the past. He had one tweet referring to "swampman bidan" that he deleted soon after and put the exact same tweet up with Biden's name spelled correctly. But then again he left covfefe up, so who knows why his stable genius abrain makes the decisions it does.
