A tweet from President Donald Trump that included one very blatant typo has gone viral overnight, becoming the butt of many jokes on the social media platform. But even he's poking fun.
Trump posted the tweet that read, "Despite the constant negative press covfefe" around 12:06 a.m. The post stayed there for the remainder of the night but has since been deleted.
Around 4 a.m., more than 100,000 people had retweeted the post, which had more than 130,000 likes, according to CNN.
what makes me saddest is that I know I'll never write anything funnier than #covfefe

The word got its own hashtag and was the No. 1 trending topic on the social media platform.
Even the president made fun of the misspelling in a new tweet that was posted around 6 a.m. EST.
Who can figure out the true meaning of "covfefe" ??? Enjoy!

Trump is known for his social media presence, bringing both praise and criticism.
"Without the tweets, I wouldn’t be here," he told the Financial Times in April. "I have over 100m [followers]. I don’t have to go to the fake media."
