Two days later, I was minding my own business, enjoying the memory of the pastry I'd just eaten at a cafe that had become my favorite when my Trumplessness was again interrupted. In a dusty street-facing stall that sells high powered speakers and cheap cell phone cases in Jyatha, Kathmandu, I ran into Dilli Ram Kander, the administrator of the biggest Donald Trump fan page in Nepal.

2021 January 19, Oleg Burunov, “'Natural Instinct': Biden's Brother Reveals How Joe Took Hunter Off 'Guilt Train' Amid 'Laptopgate'”, in Sputnik News:

Elon Musk and Matt Taibbi’s flashy revival of Laptopgate hasn’t illuminated much beyond the right’s desperation to salvage something from their October Surprise.

2022 June 12, Alex Shephard, “Why the Right Can’t Quit Hunter Biden”, in The New Republic:

And Laptopgate is most significant in what it reveals about the contest now on for a suitable post-liberal political regime: a battle that pits the “human” against something more like a “swarm”.

2022 July 12, Mary Harrington, “Musk is becoming a true Caesar”, in UnHerd:

The House Oversight and Accountability Committee, now controlled by Republicans who've felt singled out by Big Tech, the IRS or the FBI--in many cases justifiably so--has launched hearings into Laptopgate, for starters.

During a panel segment on Fox News’s Outnumbered program, McEnany noted that Forbes had recently coined the term Kamalanomics in a profile about the current vice president. “Forbes has discovered a new philosophy, Kamalanomics, named after Kamala,” McEnany complained, “and it’s about propping up women small business owners.”

2024 July 6, Rick Newman, “This week in Bidenomics: Kamalanomics?”, in Yahoo! Finance, archived from the original on 2024-07-06

The fact that Kamalanomics looks so much like Bidenomics poses big risks for her candidacy, given how unpopular the latter has proved to be.

From a 31 May 2017 tweet by Donald Trump: “Despite the constant negative press covfefe”, presumably intending to write coverage. Donald Trump later tweeted: “Who can figure out the true meaning of "covfefe" ??? Enjoy!”. Sense 1 ("deliberate misspelling of coffee") is from the phonetic similarity.

2018, Joe Dunn, “The Fecal Fiend”, in A Man-Child Covefe! (The Tremendous Trump), San Antonio, Tex.: Antarctic Press:

President Trump, I was not being delusional in calling him by the name in which he tweets out insults through a covfefe movement, as you will come to learn towards the end the use of this word, which no reasonable language can justify its meaning except to take each letter apart and turn them into our present indwelling shame that this president has brought upon the United States of America. […] For now, we look for truth, hope, and light, or some form of hope within these truths, and not covfefe, which is here taunting us to stay silent until calamity becomes America’s portion.

2020, Kurt Schlichter, The 21 Biggest Lies about Donald Trump (and You!), Washington, D.C.: Regnery Publishing, →ISBN:

Covfefe, construed as a disruptive space, is a form of noise – a disturbance in the orderly sequence. […] So, even if much of the covfefe may appear as random ramblings, the disturbance as such still has political consequences and effects. The noise generated through covfefe becomes a crack in the dominant discourse, a crack that can be deepened through continued work.

2020, Simon Lindgren, Data Theory: Interpretive Sociology and Computational Methods, Polity Press, →ISBN:

In the meantime, a battered and bruised capital has adjusted to life at a calmer pace, with quieter activities and words replacing the obscenities, characters and gibberish that used to shape how the [Trump] days were spent. Bagels over Bannon. Grandchildren over golf. Church over covfefe.
