The tweet was deleted after being online for over 6 hours. Like a good sport, Mr Trump teased everyone with this tweet.
Who can figure out the true meaning of "covfefe" ??? Enjoy!

It may have been deleted but for hours #covfefe was the biggest worldwide trend on Twitter.
Mr Trump probably went to sleep but some quality memes were made on Twitter.

There was even a conspiracy theory about the typo
I'm sure this is a social experiment by the White House and everyone who typed #covfefe is now on a watchlist.

A poll was put out to decide the word's pronunciation
