Merriam-Webster and Urban Dictionary troll Donald Trump over his “covfefe” tweet

Dear Palmer Report readers, we all understand the difficult era we're heading into. Major media outlets are caving to Trump already. Even the internet itself and publishing platforms may be at risk. But Palmer Report is nonetheless going to lead the fight. We're funding our 2025 operating expenses now, so we can keep publishing no matter what happens. I'm asking you to contribute if you can, because the stakes are just so high. You can donate here.

After Donald Trump errantly tweeted about “covfefe” sometime after midnight and then went to bed without bothering to delete or correct it, the entire internet seemingly began trolling him yet another Twitter fail. In particular, Merriam-Webster Dictionary and Urban Dictionary both made fun of Trump for having invented an idiotic new word.

Urban Dictionary managed to immediately add a new entry just for the occasion, under the assumption that Trump was probably trying to type “coverage” when he ended up settling for “covfefe” instead (link):

Merriam-Webster took a different, more passive-aggressive approach (link):

Elsewhere, some have begun asking if perhaps Trump’s new attorney – the one he hired last week in case the Russia scandal turns into an impeachment hearing – may have advised him that he’s no longer allowed to delete his worst tweets for fear it’ll be seen as destruction of evidence. If so, then he may simply be stuck with “covfefe” for all time.
