Expect it to be among the words of the year come December.
One thing you have to hand to Donald Trump; while he regularly tweets out the most self-serving, blinkered, hateful and downright negative dirt that comes into his head, at least his spelling is usually somewhat accurate… actually, that’s not true either.
And today was just another example of his complete lack of respect for the English language.
Despite the constant negative press covfefe

Look, anyone can make a complete balls of a tweet, and had he hastily deleted the message and posted what he had meant to say quickly – something, surely, along the lines of, ‘Despite the constant negative press coverage of my presidency, I love the New York Times dearly. Wonderful people.’ – nobody would have batted an eyelid.
But two and a half hours later, it’s up there, and now we’re all about the ‘covfefe’.
Here it is again, in screengrab form, just in case someone in the White House decides to take control of the wheel.
The world is now in thrall to President Covfefe.

A lot of people are asking me what the Irish for *covfefe* is this morning. Based on the context of the sentence, I think it's 'fíricí'.
