After Racehorse Named 'Covfefe' Wins a Big Race, Trump Suggests His 'Covfefe' Tweet Actually Had 'Deep Meaning' After All

Riiight.

On Saturday, the website created by Fox News pundit Tucker  Carlson—The Daily Caller—shared video of a horse who owes her name to a slip of the presidential digits.

The 3 year-old filly's name is Covfefe—and she's on a winning streak. Saturday she won the Breeder's Cup at the Santa Anita racetrack.


The Daily Caller captioned the post:

"A horse named 'Covfefe' won a Breeder’s Cup event at Santa Anita today. Named after President Trump’s famous mistweet, she has now won six of her first eight races."

From there, Mitch Roschelle of PricewaterhouseCoopers shared it with the simple hashtag #Covfefe. Then it caught President Donald Trump's attention.

Trump disputed Tucker Carlson/The Daily Caller's characterization of the origin of the nonsense word. Instead of a mistweet, perhaps it was a bit of higher wisdom.

Trump retweeted Roschelle with the caption:

"Great! But how do you know it was a 'mistweet?' May be something with deep meaning!"

Some Trump supporters didn't find a deep meaning, but did find a deep state conspiracy which included Google scrubbing all records everywhere of the completely real word covfefe.

But despite how compelling the evidence was of "the Google" removing a word from existence immediately after Trump tweeted it, most people had a simpler explanation.

Others focused on how deep the President is.

Others wondered when the President found time to tweet.

While some pointed out covfefe did gain meaning in 2017 as a legislation acronym.

Others were just done being polite.

Covfefe—the horse—has an impressive pedigree. Her owner, Jaime Roth, said:

"We gave the name to her because we thought she was special and we thought the name was kind of funny."

Gavin Newsom Makes Perfect Analogy After Photos Of Trump Tearing Down Part Of White House Emerge

California Governor Gavin Newsom said President Donald Trump is doing to the White House what he's doing to the U.S. Constitution after photos of construction on the White House to build his new ballroom went viral

Earlier this week, The Washington Post published photos showing construction crews demolishing parts of the East Wing, actions that have stunned preservationists and fueled criticism that Trump was overstepping his authority to advance a personal project. A White House spokesperson said the administration plans to “modernize and rebuild” the East Wing in its entirety.

Japanese Singer Calls Out Sabrina Carpenter For Cultural Appropriation In 'SNL' Performance

Sabrina Carpenter returned to Saturday Night Live this past weekend and turned heads with her performance of "Nobody's Son," and not just because of the insane breath control and enunciation the song requires.

The song was staged with a Japanese martial arts-inspired theme. The stage was set as a Japanese dojo with a backdrop of shoji, which are panels made from translucent paper, and on the floor were traditional-looking tatami, which are soft floor mats that a person is meant to either walk barefoot on or with special indoor slippers.

Sylvester Stallone's Wife Ripped For Her Bizarre Comments About Trans Kids In Hollywood

Sylvester Stallone’s wife, Jennifer Flavin, sat down with Stephen Miller's wife, Katie, for an appearance on an episode of the conservative, right-wing The Katie Miller Podcast.

Flavin, who married Stallone in 1997, gave her unqualified opinion about why some celebrities have transgender children. Despite having no experience or training in psychology or medicine, the former model—who began her relationship with Stallone when she was 19 and the action star was in his 40s—opined that celebrity parents’ children are transgender because of a lack of “structure” in their lives.
