Trump’s 'covfefe'-like typo renews speculation about his mental fitness
President Donald Trump's now-deleted Truth Social post Wednesday morning has people questioning what the White House has described as his "exceptional health."
Monday on Air Force One, the president described a "perfect" MRI scan he received during his visit to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center this month. Now, a post on his social media site is prompting critics to wonder the extent of his mental and physical fitness.
Never Trump Republican political action committee The Lincoln Project shared a screenshot of the post on X, sent by the president at 8:43 a.m. that read, "South Carerddd."
The Lincoln Project included the comment, "Perfect MRI. Sure."
"My mom had identical bruises and sent me texts like this. She died of congestive heart failure and dementia," wrote one X user, who posted her late mother's messages resembling Trump's post.
Another pointed to the possibility that the president was just a bad typist.
"So either his typing is absolutely atrocious or he uses speech to text and slurs his words to the point that the computer can't figure out what he is saying," wrote pilot D. Stamos.
Another wondered if this was yet another of Trump's gone-viral gaffes like one very popular one from his first term.
"Maybe he meant "South Covfefe?" asked Robert Wayne on X.
Trump supporters brushed it off as just an "accidental post and not brain damage."
