Donald Trump `covfefe` tweet leaves followers baffled; check out hilarious responses on Twitter

New York: The word that sent the Internet in a tizzy on Wednesday morning is "covfefe".

In the early morning hours of May 31, US President Donald Trump sent a lot of people, including reporters, scurrying for dictionaries when he posted an odd tweet that used the word "covfefe".

"Despite the constant negative press covfefe", wrote Trump.

His tweet left many of his 31 million followers on Twitter baffled and slightly concerned.

Speculations were running amok that Trump was punch drunk last night.

Most people think he meant to write "press coverage", and it was a typo/spelling error.

More than 110,000 people have retweeted the tweet, and it earned its own hashtag.

Almost instantly after the President`s tweet went out, memes and jibes began flying around wondering what on Earth could a `covfefe` actually mean.

Here are some of the gems that are taking Twitter by storm:

I hope this means someone ripped his cell phone out of his hands as they were cuffing him to throw him in prison. — SHODANFreeman (@SHODANFreeman) May 31, 2017

proof Trump's tweets are written by a cat walking across a keyboard with autocorrect on #Covfefe — Alexandera (@angry_fluffball) May 31, 2017

#covfefe is my new word of the week. I think it means having a stroke mid-tweet when you are leader of the free world.
