It began at 12:06 a.m. on May 31, 2017, with a tersely worded tweet of 43 characters by none other than President Donald J. Trump: “Despite the constant negative press covfefe”
The result was a viral sensation that led to memes, jokes, more tweets, and rampant speculation. Three minutes after posting the original tweet, President Trump tweeted again: “Who can figure out the true meaning of “covfefe” ??? Enjoy!”
