The internet speculates wildly on the significance of Trump’s enigmatic tweet today

We have seen many instances where words have failed Donald Trump while he was speaking publically, but the president never seems to be at a loss for words in his Twitter posts until he posted this enigmatic tweet this morning.

Four dots. Four periods. An ellipsis with an extra dot.

A profound comment on the current emptiness of his existence? A metaphor for the yet to be found evidence he feels is lacking in the Democrats’ impeachment case against him? A moment of serenity amidst the everyday chaos of his administration? Or a brain fart from a mentally-declining president marching inexorably into senility?

Add your name to tell Congress to investigate Pence for his role in Trump’s Ukraine corruption. The VP is complicit!

Whatever the meaning behind Trump’s perplexing social media post, Twitter wags had no lack of snarky responses to its content — or rather the lack thereof.

Perhaps the president’s mysterious tweet was simply the equivalent of a rest symbol in musical notation, an indication of a short pause between notes.

Since Trump resumed his tweeting within the hour, perhaps that is the most logical explanation for now, but with the subsequent post being completely unrelated to those prior to it, perhaps he simply forgot what he was going to say next and merely moved on without completing the thought.

Still, if one wishes to give him the benefit of the doubt, one can at a minimum give Trump credit for the least offensive tweet he’s sent in ages.
