What’s a “covfefe”IJ Ask US President Donald Trump. The President took to Twitter overnight with a baffling, meme-inspiring message: “Despite the constant negative press covfefe.”
The tweet, presumably an unfinished critique of negative press coverage of the administration, quickly sparked a trending topic on the social media site. The post, tweeted shortly after midnight, stayed up for nearly six hours before it was deleted. Soon after he made a typo in his half sentence, the tweet went viral and became a trending topic worldwide. Trump replaced it with a tweet reading: “Who can figure out the true meaning of ‘covfefe’ IJIJIJ Enjoy!”
That it had not been immediately deleted was confusing to users who, in the hours between the two tweets, had indeed tried to work out what exactly Trump might have meant.
