Trump misspells press ‘covfefe,’ and Twitter takes notice
- Share via
President Trump took to Twitter to address the media — again — Tuesday night. This time it was about the “negative press covfefe.”
(Earlier in the day, the president tweeted about the Russia investigation, referencing a New York Times article. He called it “fake news.”)
Although the word was most likely a typo for the word “coverage,” tweeters noticed and made up some conclusions and puns of their own.
Oh yeah, and it began trending on Twitter with the following description: “The mystery of Trump’s ‘covfefe.’”
(Trump’s tweet with the misspelling had not been removed as of press time.)
