Trump tweeted on early Wednesday, May 31, "Despite the constant negative press covfefe," which left people questioning the meaning of "covfefe".

A number of celebrities have taken to their own Twitter accounts to react to the "non-sense" tweet and are debating the meaning of the misspelled word. "I like that we all quickly googled covfefe just to make SURE first," Kal Penn wrote, while comedian/actor Zach Braff poked fun at Trump's tweet by predicting Sean Spicer's defense of the word. " 'Not only is covfefe a word, it's the greatest word ever uttered,' " so he tweeted alongside a picture of the White House Press Secretary.
