Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Herbert Hoover could have tweeted the campaign slogan "A Covfefe in Every Pot." But what word should he have used instead?

Answer: Chicken

Herbert Hoover campaigned in 1928 with the slogan "A chicken in every pot and a car in every garage". He won the election, but his slogan was soon forgotten when the Great Depression started in 1929.

2. A late-night tweet from Warren Harding might have included his 1920 campaign slogan "A Return to Covfefe". Well, not quite - what word would he have used instead?

Answer: Normalcy

The slogan "A Return to Normalcy" referred to the end of American involvement in World War I (which ended in 1918). Warren Harding died unexpectedly of a heart attack in 1923 and was replaced as president by his vice-president Calvin Coolidge.

3. Accident-prone Gerald Ford might well have mistakenly tweeted about the "Whip Covfefe Now" program. But what did he really want to whip?

Answer: Inflation

Gerald Ford replaced the disgraced Richard Nixon as president in 1974. Running for re-election in 1976, he campaigned on a platform of lowering inflation. His campaign featured "WIN" buttons in an attempt to create popular support. However, he was eventually defeated by his Democratic opponent Jimmy Carter.

4. Lyndon Johnson could have sent a late-night tweet about his "War on Covfefe." Or maybe his "War on..." what?

Answer: Poverty

Lyndon Johnson's "War on Poverty" began in 1964 and was part of his "Great Society" program. It included the creation of the Food Stamps program and the Job Corps. Having taken over as president in 1963 on John F Kennedy's assassination, he was re-elected the following year and served until 1969.

5. Dwight D. Eisenhower, campaigning for president, might have accidentally tweeted with the hashtag #ILikeCovfefe. What - or who - did he actually want people to like?

Answer: Ike

Ike was the popular nickname for Eisenhower. He made the successful transition from World War II general to president of the United States from 1953-1961, and "I like Ike" was his simple but memorable campaign slogan.

6. US president Franklin D Roosevelt could have had a fireside tweet talking about his "New Covfefe" program. What was actually "New"?

Answer: Deal

Roosevelt became president in 1933 during the "Great Depression", and his "New Deal" was meant to restore the economy, based on the three themes of relief, recovery and reform. His efforts were largely successful, and he went on to lead the US through most of the Second World War, before his premature death in 1945.

7. Occupying himself in the Oval Office late at night, Bill Clinton might have sent a tweet about his political catchphrase "It's the Covfefe, Stupid". If not covfefe, what?

Answer: Economy

Bill Clinton was US president from 1993-2001. The phrase "It's the Economy, Stupid", is attributed to his political advisor James Carville, and was meant to emphasize the importance of improving the American economy.

8. Barack Obama might have sent a tweet about his book "The Audacity of Covfefe". What was actually audacious, in his view?

Answer: Hope

The "Audacity of Hope" was the title of Barack Obama's 2006 book. Subtitled "Thoughts on Reclaiming the American dream", it was written while Barack Obama was still a senator from Illinois. He subsequently served two terms as president, from 2009-17.

9. George H W Bush might have mistakenly tweeted out encouragement for "A Thousand Points of Covfefe". What should he have said instead?

Answer: Light

President George H W Bush spoke about "A Thousand Points of Light" during his inaugural address in 1989. It was meant to encourage Americans to serve others in their communities. The "Points of Light Foundation" continued these efforts after his presidency.

10. Shortly after midnight on 31 May 2017, the 45th American president, Donald Trump, in a late night tweet, wrote "Despite the constant negative press covfefe". What word did he actually use?

Answer: Covfefe

Donald Trump became notorious for his public use of Twitter as a means of communication (often "tweeting" late at night when his aides were presumably in bed), which both amused and exasperated the American public in more or less equal measure.

The phrase "Despite the constant negative press covfefe" was tweeted out by him at 12:06 AM on 31 May 2017. Common sense suggests that he meant to write "coverage" but didn't quite hit the right keys. However, for some reason "the internet" found this enormously amusing, and for days afterwards you couldn't move on social media without being deluged with so-called comedians and meme artists joking about "covfefe." Even the President himself found it amusing, and (having deleted the original) tweeted "Who can figure out the true meaning of 'covfefe' ??? Enjoy!"
