This afternoon US President Donald Trump tweeted, "Despite the constant negative press covfefe."
Within 20 minutes, it had been retweeted 13,000 times, liked 16,000 times, and "covfefe" was trending worldwide.
So what is covfefe? A typo of coverage? The tweet was sent about midnight in Washington, so maybe a plea for coffee? His password?
It seemed even the POTUS did not know, tweeting just after 6am DC time, "Who can figure out the true meaning of 'covfefe'???"
Who can figure out the true meaning of "covfefe" ??? Enjoy!

Twitter, as it often does, was full of jokes within minutes of the initial tweet.

Liberals are so perfect, they've never been in the middle of typing a tweet, and then been interrupted, and accidentally sent it #covfefe

Do not stop using #Covfefe suddenly or you could have unpleasant withdrawal symptoms. Ask your doctor how to safely stop using Covfefe.

And if you're confused how to pronounce "covfefe", read this whole thread.
