Trump tweets ‘despite the negative press covfefe' - What is the meaning of 'COVFEFE'
A few minutes after midnight in Washington, D.C., President Trump tweeted a strange sentence fragment.

“Despite the constant negative press covfefe,” it read. That was it. It ended abruptly, as if someone stopped him, or he stopped himself, or perhaps he never meant to send it.
No, “covfefe” 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.” It came out “covfefe.” It was anybody’s guess what words were meant to follow. “Despite the constant negative press covfefe,” what?
Within five hours, it had been retweeted more than 115,000 times and “liked” more than 146,000 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,” a twitter user wrote.
“What’s even the point of CNN if they’re not going commercial-free with #covfefe coverage?” was written by another twitter user.
“The next time I go to Starbucks I’m gonna order a grande #covfefe,” another one thirsty user wrote.
The word “covfefe” does not appear in the Merriam-Webster dictionary. When searching for it on the company’s website, the dictionary suggests “coffee,” “coven,” “cover,” “covet,” “covey” and “cuvee.”
Clearly, it isn’t an English word. Some tweets employing “covfefe” offer the option to translate it from Norwegian, though that appears to be a glitch of some sort. “Covfefe” does not appear to be a Norwegian word, either.
Desperate for a definition, some Twitter users came up with a few, such as coffee or a synonym to “The Lion King’s” “hakuna matata.” (It means no worries, for the rest of your days. Some would say it’s a problem-free philosophy.)
