Trump targets ‘negative press covfefe’ in garbled midnight tweet that becomes worldwide joke

At 12:06 a.m. Eastern time Wednesday, President Trump tweeted a strange sentence fragment.

“Despite the constant negative press covfefe,” the tweet read. That was it. It ended abruptly, as if someone stopped him, or he stopped himself, or perhaps he never meant to send it.

No, “covfefe” isn’t a typo, at least, not on the part of The Washington Post.
