Just after midnight in Washington, Donald Trump sent the above tweet: “Despite the constant negative press covfefe.” At the time of writing, the tweet is still live on the President's Twitter account and nobody knows what to make of it. Here are some of the many reactions to a truly confusing moment from what has already been a baffling time in office for Trump.
Update: May 31 8 a.m. The original tweet has been deleted and Trump has poked fun at the mistake.
Who can figure out the true meaning of "covfefe" ??? Enjoy!
