The news cycle is definitely getting more bizarre by the second, as proved by the huge amount of uproar that a single typo from Donald Trump has caused.
Now, Trump has followed up on the “covfefe” tweet – but, of course, nobody is any the wiser.
Who can figure out the true meaning of "covfefe" ??? Enjoy!

Here’s the original tweet, which sadly, Trump has deleted but was luckily screengrabbed for posterity.
But it’s safe to say his tweet went viral immediately, with every kind of “covfefe” joke under the sun being made.

The tweet was up for over five glorious hours, but it would seem like Trump woke up and realised what an error he had made.
So “covfefe” was merely a fleeting moment of glory, but luckily its legacy will not be forgotten.
