5.31.2017Donald Trump's "Covfefe" Tweet Confuses The World
It was midnight in Washington, the brink between Tuesday night and Wednesday morning, when a tweet delivered by the President of the United States, Donald Trump, baffled the universe. The mysterious encryption read, “Despite the constant negative press covfefe.” That’s it. Disturbing everybody’s midnight snack hour, the same question ran through all Americans’ minds: “What the fuck is covfefe???” An excruciating six hours past until the tweet was deleted and left unacknowledged. The lack of closure pained the nation, leaving us only to the resources of our wildest imaginations. We’ve coined it the cliffhanger heard around the world—or better yet, read around the world.
Within minutes, the tweet had accumulated thousands of likes, retweets and replies, as the hashtag #covfefe soared in the trending section. In the span of its six hour lifetime, the tweet had become one of his most responded-to posts on Twitter. Rubbing his morning eyes in bed at 6 A.M., Trump had probably recognized the havoc that he had wreaked overnight (aside from his general presidency) and deleted the tweet. But ’tis not all—in typical troll fashion, he put forth a second provocation… a torment… nay, a challenge.
Who can figure out the true meaning of "covfefe" ??? Enjoy!
