On Wednesday, Donald Trump tweeted out a typo or something when he wrote "Despite the negative press covfefe." It was probably him just spelling "coverage" wrong (and then leaving the mistake up overnight), but millions of tweets propelled it to the No. 1 Twitter trend because nothing, no matter how small, is immune from jumping the shark. Also, he (eventually) deleted the tweet and followed up with this riddle of sorts:

Who can figure out the true meaning of "covfefe" ??? Enjoy!

While you're more than free to bury your head in your hands over the amount of coverage a Twitter mistake can produce, it's also kind of fun to watch a bunch of doofuses (or doofi...I don't know) try to pronounce said mistake on the air with a straight face. The above video was thrown onto YouTube by the conservative outlet The Daily Caller. It shows a bunch of serious(?) news people doing their best to pronounce a made up word from the most powerful person on the planet. This is why you go to journalism school, kids! 

Kind of reminds me why I don't watch cable news.
