Donald Trump's "Covfefe" tweet, posted on May 30, 2017, at 9:06 PM, became an instant internet sensation. The tweet read, "Despite the constant negative press covfefe," and was widely interpreted as a typo, possibly meant to be "coverage." However, White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer insisted that it was not a mistake, suggesting that only the president and a small group of people understood its meaning[1][2]. The tweet sparked a wave of memes and jokes across social media, with many speculating about its intended meaning. Trump later tweeted, "Who can figure out the true meaning of 'covfefe' ??? Enjoy!" adding to the mystery. The incident led to the introduction of the COVFEFE Act, aiming to preserve presidential social media posts as part of official records[1][4]. The term "covfefe" became a cultural phenomenon, symbolizing the power of social media in shaping public discourse[1][3].
