A few minutes after midnight in Washington, D.C., President Trump tweeted a strange sentence.
“Despite the constant negative press covfefe,” it read.
No, that isn’t a typo. At least, not on the part of The Washington Post.
It’s a good guess that the word he was looking for was “coverage.”
But the tweet, and the thought, remained incomplete. Within two hours, it had been retweeted more than 60,000 times and “liked” more than 74,000 times — making it one of his most popular tweets in months.
Quickly, the “word” covfefe began trending. One company even appeared to have made a shirt with that odd combination of letters written across the front in bold, block letters.
“Don’t talk to me until I’ve had my #covfefe,” wrote one user.
“What’s even the point of CNN if they’re not going commercial-free with #covfefe coverage?” inquired another.
“The next time I go to Starbucks I’m gonna order a grande #covfefe,” wrote one thirsty user.
There's lots more in the article, but the best one is:
Leave the gun, take the #covfefe.
