It first appeared on a trump tweet....Question is whether he was sleep tweeting or simply incoherent

Fake news or disinformation developed and implemented by an alliance between MSM, CIA, and various propaganda churning US Federal govt agencies; deliberately to confuse and brainwash the American public.

It appears to be a typo for coverage. The phone and the second BigMac slipped from his tiny hands as an exhausted child in an adult body slipped off to sleep.

It's probably say to assume covefefe was supposed to be coverage. The F and R buttons are next to each other. Negative press coverage makes sense.

that he was going to spell it as "coverege," rather than coverage, which is correct.

It's an archaic word that got resuscitated by one of Kim Jong Un's minions who didn't realize it had disappeared from the lexicon decades earlier.

...to be experiencing a decline of mental faculties.

Both dotard and dotage date back to the 1300-1400s, according to Dictionary.com.

Just use it anywhere to mean anything. "Is that a new covefefe you are wearing? My it looks so covefefe!" The permutations are endless, and so is the fun!

I think it means, "Help! I'm in over my head! I started this as a joke, but the joke went waaaaaaaaay too far! I tried my damnedest to act crazy, but crazy was what a lot of people wanted. Now I sit here, crapping my pants because no one was ever supposed to take me seriously! I just want to go play golf! Heeeeeeeeeeelp!"

So much emotion captured in that one word . . .

Covfefe (noun): what you get when you mean to type "coverage" but your fingers are too short to reach all the keys.
