Spicer offers cryptic explanation for Trump ‘covfefe’ tweet

White House press secretary Sean Spicer on Wednesday offered a cryptic explanation for President Trump’s incomplete, misspelled tweet that went viral overnight. 

“The president and a small group of people know exactly what he meant,” Spicer told reporters. 

The spokesman’s refusal to admit Trump made a mistake prompted laughter from members of the media at the White House.

Spicer said he wasn’t concerned about the president posting confusing tweets late at night.

The message unleashed a torrent of reactions from Twitter users who tried to define the term — or simply made fun of it. 

Trump deleted the tweet shortly before 6 a.m., and posted a new message that read, “Who can figure out the true meaning of ‘covfefe’ ???”

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