Hero motorists to provide endless laughs with “COVFEFE” license plates
Commuting can be such a tedious, frustrating affair, exacerbating every minor inconvenience into a mounting tension—one that’s only compounded by the dehumanizing isolation of our cars. But as road rage incidents continue to rise, accelerated by a nation that’s never seemed more fractiously divided, some hero drivers are doing their part by ordering “COVFEFE” vanity license plates, thus bringing the healing, bipartisan gift of topical mirth to the nation’s highways and byways. Now no matter where you’re headed, all roads lead in one direction: laughter!
According to CNN, motorists in at least 21 states have now claimed license plates memorializing the misspelled tweet recently dispatched by Donald Trump amid another string of invective launched at the media through his official Twitter feed, excoriating it for reporting on the ongoing investigation into a possible collusion between the Russian government and a sitting U.S. president. In his haste to discredit the free press, and to denounce it as an enemy of the state for daring to not kowtow to his absolute authority and to question his basic capacity for the job by reporting on the many contradictions, crises of diplomacy, and outright lies his administration has already produced in such an astoundingly short span, Trump accidentally typed “covfefe,” bungling even this key-mashing that now stands in for statements from the highest office in the land made by the impulsive, pettily vindictive man who holds it.
And now it’s a hilarious license plate!
