Donald Trump suggests word 'covfefe' might have 'deep meaning' in fresh comments on notorious tweet

Jacob Jarvis4 November 2019

Donald Trump has suggested his notorious "covfefe" tweet, widely thought to have been a misspelling, may actually have had "deep meaning".

In 2017, the US President wrote a tweet which read: "Despite the constant negative press covfefe.”

Mr Trump has never explained the meaning, despite the message baffling millions, but has suggested it might not be the error people thought.

After a horse named Covfefe won six out of her first eight races, the Daily Caller tweeted about her being named after "President Trump's famous mistweet".

To this the President wrote: "Great! But how do you know it was a 'mistweet?' May be something with deep meaning!"

This added fresh confusion to the social media saga, as people began to pontificate on what said meaning could be.

Racehorse Covfefe won the $1 million Filly & Mare Sprint by three-quarters of a length at the Breeders' Cup over the weekend.
