It's Covfefe Day!

From Wikipedia:

Covfefe (/koʊˈfɛfi/ koh-FEH-fee,[2] /kəvˈfifi/)[3] is a nonsense word, widely presumed to be a typo, that Donald Trump used in a viral tweet when he was President of the United States. It instantly became an Internet meme.
Six minutes after midnight (EDT) on May 31, 2017, Trump tweeted, "Despite the constant negative press covfefe".[4] He deleted the tweet six hours later but implied that its wording was intentional. Most media outlets presumed that he had meant to type "coverage". White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer stated, "I think the President and a small group of people know exactly what he meant."[5]

I think I'll ALWAYS remember what I was doing when covfefe hit.

I didn't have sufficient grounds to be very upset.

Translated into English it means “Biden is incoherent and can’t spell (and Hillary used email).”

Geez. There's "math", "new math", and (now) "Florida math"?

I do think there are those who pluralize the word. Should I capitalize it?

'Maths' is common in Europe.

Fine, if you want to get technical, five years ago today:

​

Kim Kardashian West met with President Donald Trump and other officials, including senior adviser Jared Kushner, at the White House on Wednesday to discuss prison reform.​

​

“Great meeting with @KimKardashian today, talked about prison reform and sentencing,” the President tweeted following the afternoon meeting, posting a picture alongside a stoic Kardashian West in the Oval Office.​

​

Kardashian West, who wore a black suit with bright yellow stilettos, was spotted leaving the White House with a small entourage about an hour after she arrived.​

I assume she was there as she suspected this is where Kanye was headed...no, not the White House.

Yeah, well, other than a few countries, they have a different word for everything.
