On Sat Oct 03, 03:31:34, President Donald Trump sent out this tweet:
All-caps usually indicates a significant comm - in this case LOVE. But what turned out to be even more notable was a bizarre "typo" - spelling "well" with a capital letter i in place of a second L. This has been verified both by examining the source code of the tweet, as well as the blockchain-verified record of its content.[1]
Misspellings matter
We know that misspellings matter in comms - Drops #831 and #3704 confirm this, among others. So, let's take a look first at the word itself - WELI. There are many different results for this word, and I'll try to start on an analysis of each of them and what they could mean. Feel free to add additional insights.

Weli, the wild card
In the Austrian games of Watten, Bieten, and Perlaggen, the Weli acts as a wild card, something which is illustrated by the depiction of two other suits (Acorns and Hearts) on the card and by its special design (it is the only playing card with a printed name).[2][3][4] In other games, it is simply the six of bells.
