Confusion remains over President's ill-spelled tweet

Social media is having a field day with the latest round of ill-spelled tweets from U.S. President Donald Trump, including one challenging twitter followers to determine the meaning of the word "covfefe."

Some have noted, it's about the only thing that has united Americans, their baffled response to the President's post.

With no dictionary definition for the word, some are questioning why the president was posting on social media in the middle of the night, and why no one is reviewing what he writes on Twitter.

White House Spokesman Sean Spicer told reporters, the president and a few inside the inner circle know exactly what was meant.
