Trump tweets a new word - covfefe - and everybody is going wtfefe
Donald Trump has created a new word.
The 45th president of the United States of America is as Twitter-savvy as it gets.
The man constantly tweets ridiculous opinions and his past tweets (anything from before 2016) are always contradicting his present opinions. In fact, the only saving grace of this ridiculously terrible presidency is the fact that he is entertainment fodder on the Internet.
Somewhere between blaming the world for his failures, and praising Fox News, Trump managed to create a new word: Covfefe. The president tweeted: “Despite the constant negative press covfefe”. As ambiguous and vague as that sentence may have been, it does not manage to steal the spotlight away from this curious little word.
The tweet that has been retweeted more than a hundred thousand times so far has not yet been deleted. Although it seems likely the word he was reaching for was "coverage", social media users have been trying to guess other alternatives or motivations.
Was he drunk-tweeting (like all of us at some point) or was he just being his regular self? Or was this typo the result of extremely tiny hands? We may never know. What we do know, is the fact that it totally broke the internet.
This is going to replace that horrid SpongeBob meme.

Wait what if?
It's been five minutes. What if this is it. That is his final tweet & the rest of history stops.

Yeah, someone needs to stop this man from tweeting.
Does no one on staff have his password? Have they tried the most common ones? 123456, or 11111, or, like ... "password"?

Sean Spicer is most probably going to do this. Like, seriously.

But not better than Venkiah Naidu!
#COVFEFE - Collaboration Of Victorious Friends Enabling Friendship (for) Eternity It's a foreign policy term. Venkaiah Naidu gets it.
