He probably mangled two words together, or had a brain fart. I guess per his tweet hours later, even he isn't sure what he meant. Or perhaps Melania finished the tweet and dragged him off to bed. What's your conjecture?

Shortly after midnight on Wednesday morning, President Trump tweeted, "Despite the negative press covfefe," and nothing more. On Twitter, #Covfefe quickly began trending as people tried to piece together what the president meant. Coffee? Conference? Coverage? Coveted? So many possibilities.

Too bad he doesn't drink. It would be the perfect excuse for his tweets.

I know, but did she leave for NYC right after their trip was done or did she stay at the WH for awhile?

At spelling bee... Judge: Your word is covfefe. Contestant: Can you use it in a sentence? Judge: Despite the constant negative press covfefe.

Fat fingers. He was typing "coverage", possibly tried to set his phone down or change his grip while typing the 'e', inserted 'fefe', hit 'send' instead of backspace when he noticed the error. Why he didn't correct it, I don't know. Perhaps he figured he'd accidentally hit 'close' instead of backspace and that the message hadn't actually gone out.

On Twitter, #Covfefe quickly began trending as people tried to piece together what the president meant. Coffee? Conference? Coverage? Coveted? So many possibilities. Obviously just a case of fat fingers. I do it all the time! But this one gave me a giggle. Laughter is a good thing. I'm letting the covfefe ride and enjoy it. I also thought Trump's post covfefe tweet was amusing too. Good for him for showing some humor.

Doesn't DT only drink diet coke? Wasn't there a recent article that all diet drinks help speed up dementia? I also thought there was word out that Melania refused to sleep in the same bed with him

SATIRE FROM THE BOROWITZ REPORT TRUMP SAYS SLEEPING ONLY FOUR HOURS A DAY NOT AFFECTING HIS ABILITY TO CLJJRYFF
By Andy Borowitz WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—Donald J. Trump tweeted early Wednesday morning that his practice of sleeping only four hours a day was having no impact whatsoever on his ability to cljjryff. Trump, who repeatedly touted his high energy level during the 2016 campaign, tweeted that, despite his gruelling Presidential schedule, he still had enormous reserves of stamina, which he called “stamgygygyggy.” In the same tweetstorm, he lashed out at news reports questioning his fitness for office, denouncing them as “fakequez%(™.” The White House said that, despite pleas from his legal team to delete his Twitter feed, Trump planned to continue tweeting, and that Education Secretary Betsy DeVos would continue to spell-check his tweets. link

When Trump's tweet hit Twitter it trended almost immediately. I was laughing so hard I cried and there were some priceless tweets. After an hour with no correction I started to get a little worried. What if the dude had a stroke and was sprawled over his keyboard with his dead fingers on the "fefe key"? I may not like the guy but that's not something I'd wish on anybody.

after 6 hours I got worried. What if he was dead in the bathroom like an orange elvis.
And Al Franken: Covfefe is Yiddish for "I go to bed now."

I saw one tweet with a picture of this little, furry, orange creature crawling along a concrete wall and looking a lot like Trump's hair. The picture originated on BBC if I remember correctly. Anyhow, the tweeter named the little orange guy Confefe and was cheering on his rush to freedom.

FWIW: the Yiddish word for going to bed or going to sleep is 'shluffy.' As in: "Donald, it's time to go shluffy." Usually aimed at young children in a spirit of both patient understanding coupled with slight exasperation on the part of the parent.

Post your best definition of Covfefe.
And go! Going at this from the perspective of a 5 yo (Trump seems to use the vocabulary of a 5 yo to communicate with the masses....) I'm thinking he was trying to say Confluffle - a Big Word that's not really a word...
"Despite the negative press confluffle" (with an imagined Trump doing an Eye Roll).
So, covfefe = "confusion" or something like a brouhaha but with more "running around mindlessly". Or maybe more in the sense of a "clusterf&(k".

"The president and a small group of people know exactly what he meant," Spicer told reporters.
