"Despite the constant negative press covfefe".
Trump hasn't explained what that meant or if it was simply a typo.
As with all Trump and Trump-related flubs, this spread like wildfire and was quickly turned into a meme.
And as the debate simmered, Twitter users turned to the one account that might be able to help: Merriam Webster.
Flip through the slides above to see the memes. When asked in the past about other Trump tweets, White House spokesman Sean Spicer has said the posts speak for themselves.
But the tweet remained unfinished and with an apparent typo, which helped spur a viral meme that dominated social media for much of the day.

The DUP have called a press conference, and are the clear favourites to be the partners for an attempted Tory-led government.
The incomplete tweet from US President Trump reads:"Despite the constant negative press covfefe".
That word from President Donald Trump's late-night tweet set Twitter ablaze overnight, sparking jokes and quasi-definitions of what seems to have been a typo.
Some thought "covfefe" was Trump's secret means of releasing nuclear codes to Vladimir Putin. Unfortunately, he tweeted "covfefe" instead of coverage.
Hillary Clinton, speaking Wednesday at Codecon in California, joked that Trump's recent apparent mis-tweet was actually a coded message to Russian Federation. That was it. It ended abruptly, as if someone stopped him, or he stopped himself, or perhaps he never meant to send it. A Twitter account name Covfefe the Strong swiftly appeared, and another account titled the Wizard Covfefe soon challenged them to an all out Twitter fantasy war.
Of course, it is hard to believe that covfefe was anything more than a mistake made by the president's Twitter-happy, tiny fingers.
After all, Trump did once say he had "the best words".
