What this was
At six minutes past midnight on 31 May 2017 the President of the United States tweeted the words despite the constant negative press covfefe and stopped. It stayed up six hours. Everyone assumed he meant coverage. Rather than say so he asked who could figure out the true meaning, and his press secretary said a small group of people knew exactly what he meant.
It first appeared in 2017, during the platform era.
