Trump was permanently banned from Twitter two days after the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot, in connection to posts that Twitter said incited violence.

Many media outlets concluded that Trump intended to write the phrase “constant negative press coverage.” However, White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer chafed at the notion that the garbled late-night tweet contained a typo: “I think the president and a small group of people know exactly what he meant," he said. The “COVFEFE” hashtag alludes to a now-infamous 2017 tweet in which Trump wrote, “Despite the constant negative press covfefe,” provoking much debate about Trump’s intended meaning.
