US President Donald Trump seemed to have accidentally invented a new word during a furious 2020 campaign rally speech in Tupelo, Mississippi, on 2 November.

Speaking about the Democrats, Trump used the word “foistered.”
“First, they engineered the Russia hoax. The single greatest lies ever foistered upon the American people,” said Trump.
While the US President may have intended to say “foisted”, it came out all wrong.
Predictably, people were more than a bit tickled by Trump's latest addition to the English language.
FOISTERED!!!!! ARIBBA!!!!!!

Some users recalled his previous vocabulary gaffe in 2017, when he used the mystery word "covfefe" in a tweet, inspiring some creative genius on Twitter at the time:
Can all be ordered with with a side of covfefe!😂😂😂😂

oh dear, @MerriamWebster I’m sorry to bother you again, but the president is drunk again and the English language needs your help

So is he making them up as he goes along, reading them incorrectly off of a correct teleprompter, or reading them correctly of an incorrect teleprompter? Who can tell in this crazy world?

I mean, honestly, I want "foistered" to be a word but I want it to be a culinary term involving frying and oysters, so there you go...
