First covfefe and now Bela

There's a possibility for a darker meaning for these things.

Similar to how there are some cults that get their members to send blackmail material on themselves to the cult leader. Because if you knew the cult leader had embarrassing nude photographs of you, then you leaving or betraying the cult is less likely.

So, covfefe and Bela could be public proofs of submission from Trump to somebody else. There may be more proof from before this that demonstrates somebody ordered Trump to post these things, and if Trump ever betrayed them, then they could use these to present absolute proof that Trump is compromised and subservient to, for example, a foreign government. But without that proof, it just looks like a slightly embarrassing typo.

my money’s on:
sometimes he doesn’t lock his phone when he puts it in his pocket

[–] some_kind_of_guy@lemmy.world 25 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I would be surprised if he locks his phone at all

[–] misterdoctor@lemmy.world 20 points 4 months ago (2 children)

He’s absolutely the type of guy to use “1234” or “1111” as his passcode

[–] TehWorld@lemmy.world 19 points 4 months ago

Incredible! That’s the combination to my luggage!

Bella means "wars" in Latin?

Also means "beautiful", explains a bit about Rome

[–] aegis_sum@lemmy.world 47 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Maybe he was starting to type Belarus and got distracted halfway through?

[–] jj4211@lemmy.world 48 points 4 months ago (4 children)

Maybe he died while typing it?

Be still, my beating heart!

[–] errer@lemmy.world 7 points 4 months ago (1 children)

He wouldn’t just type “Bela,” he would say it!

Nope, he’s always been stupid.

We all know Bela was the real MVP in the Wheel of Time

[–] Crackhappy@lemmy.world 15 points 4 months ago

Best. Horse. Ever. Also, you NERD.

[–] aegis_sum@lemmy.world 5 points 4 months ago

That was where my mind went first!

[–] CatZoomies@lemmy.world 23 points 4 months ago

Frodo: “It’s a riddle. What’s the elvish word for friend?”

His internet got cut off before he could finish. What he was going to write was:

Bela Lugosi's Dead is my favorite Bauhaus track! EVER!

[–] psmgx@lemmy.world 19 points 4 months ago (1 children)

The signal to his cronies to pull out of the market because he's doing something terrible real soon

Lugosi? Fleck? Bartok? Enquiring minds want to know...

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 5 points 4 months ago

He meant to say Blyat.

Agent Krassinov has difficulties with spelling, okay?

Did Newsom get a new PR firm or something? For about a week screenshots of these stupid in content and satirical in tone tweets have kept showing up on social media.

In Polish, bela could mean shaft or bolt. While not what I'd personally call it, it's hard to ignore the fact he just had a meeting with Putin. Maybe he taught him some new words.

In my native language (Italian) "Bela" is the word to indicate the sheep vocalization, Example: "la pecora Bela". I think its only appropriate of him to start using it as a motto seeing his voter base.

Due to the negative press Bela

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 8 points 4 months ago

Ah yes. His favorite line from A Street Car Named Desire, just as he remembers it.

Bela!!! Hey, Belaaaaa!

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 7 points 4 months ago

You can't break what is already broken beyond recognition.
