As BuzzFeed News reported, Trump sent out a tweet that read, "Despite the constant negative press covfefe".
He deleted it at 5.50 a.m., and by then, it was re-tweeted more than 100,000 times, making it the career best for Mr. Trump who routinely announces policy and snipes at critics at home and overseas in fewer than 140 characters.
The "covfefe" tweet was deleted about six hours later, but it went viral in the meantime as news outlets and social media made light of the apparent spelling mistake and tried to explain it.
Last night, Trump took to Twitter to open up again about his feelings on the "negative press". Jimmy Kimmel tweeted a response, saying "What makes me sad is that I know I'll never write anything funnier than #covfefe".
A California man reportedly registered covfefe as his license plate.
President Donald Trump's late night tweet #covfefe is causing frenzy around the globe.

Thanks to a Twitter typo, "covfefe", President Donald Trump might have fat-fingered his way into unifying the nation.
"Urban Dictionary, a website that crowd sources definitions for slang words and phrases, has also posted multiple interpretations of "covfefe" since Trump used the term early Wednesday".
Soon after, Mr Trump himself joined the deciphering game.
Hillary Clinton, speaking Wednesday at Codecon in California, joked that Trump's recent apparent mis-tweet was actually a coded message to Russian Federation. "Enjoy!" he tweeted, in an unusual display of self-deprecating humour.
Whoever is managing Merriam-Webster's Twitter account deserves praise for remaining patient at such a time.
