Trump is known for his outrageous outbursts on Twitter especially when he is angry with a particular organization or a person. As is always the case in most times, the president’s tweets usually generate hours of endless discussions from both his supporters and critics. However, the president has never been able to unite both his supporters and opponents on Twitter than he did with his “covfefe” midnight tweet. Flegenheimer notes that Trump has always demonstrated a predicable tweeting habit. However, the president left the Twitter community guessing when he invented his own vocabulary in a tweet. Both his supporters and opponents kept on debating what the president implied by the strange “covfefe” word. In fact, some Twitter users started to compose jokes and memes using the ‘covfefe’ slogan. In this particular incident, Trump demonstrated his expertise in distracting the nation using a 6-worded tweet. This article demonstrates how powerful the words of the president can be.
