Donald Trump’s First Post On Truth Social Is Raising Eyebrows

Most folks who make typos in their tweets either don’t notice it or let it slide and go on to their next 280-word message. Donald Trump, however, chose to double down on his unfortunate gaffe by posing a challenge (via USA Today): “Who can figure out the true meaning of ‘covfefe’ ??? Enjoy!”

Then Sean Spicer, his press secretary at the time, went along with the charade by insisting, “I think the president and a small group of people know exactly what he meant.”

So the jokes just kept on coming. Even former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton got in on the fun. When Trump posted another tweet calling her “crooked,” she fired back, “People in covfefe houses shouldn’t throw covfefe.”

No one seems quite sure why the former president used an infamous typo to herald his return to social media. Perhaps it’s meant to illustrate that Truth Social welcomes all opinions, even ones that involve a slip of the thumb.

A new Twitter account has been created that promises to sneak Trump’s Truth Social messages onto the outlet that banned him: Twitter. It posted the “covfefe” message, which got nearly 46,000 responses and 242,000 likes, as of this writing. But the responses to the post included this one: “Long story. One of those ‘you had to be there’ things.”

Trump went on to post a more coherent statement, per the Truth Social Twitter account: “Thank you to all the GREAT and BEAUTIFUL Americans who congratulated me on my return to Social Media.”

Meanwhile, now that tech billionaire Elon Musk has purchased Twitter, questions are swirling about the future of Trump’s account.
