Elle répondait au nom de...

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

[–] sad_detective_man@leminal.space 53 points 13 hours ago

Many such kovfefe 😔

[–] voldage@lemmy.world 10 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 1 points 3 hours ago

bela

he definitely got the "shaft" from putin, and he got a bolt up his behind.

[–] WanderWisley@lemmy.world 46 points 14 hours ago

Belaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

The Donald searching for Bauhaus songs in the wrong app.

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.

[–] A_norny_mousse@feddit.org 3 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

I wonder if someone already did that: collect all the typos in all Trump's Tweets'n'Lies and try to derive meaning from them.

"See, if you put them in this order it says..."

The possibilities are endless. Something about 1000 monkeys with typerwriters.

[–] TomAwsm@lemmy.world 4 points 2 hours ago

Except this time, it's just one monkey with an infinite amount of tweets.

[–] EtnaAtsume@lemmy.world 6 points 8 hours ago

I think you're just looking for something that isn't there, man.

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

[–] some_kind_of_guy@lemmy.world 23 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

I would be surprised if he locks his phone at all

[–] misterdoctor@lemmy.world 16 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] TehWorld@lemmy.world 13 points 10 hours ago

Incredible! That’s the combination to my luggage!

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

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

Trump: “Bela”

[–] blattrules@lemmy.world 26 points 14 hours ago

Nope, he’s always been stupid.

[–] aegis_sum@lemmy.world 45 points 15 hours ago (2 children)

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

[–] jj4211@lemmy.world 46 points 15 hours ago (5 children)

Maybe he died while typing it?

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!

[–] razorcandy@discuss.tchncs.de 57 points 16 hours ago (6 children)

It means “white” in several European languages, so while it’s probably not the intended message, it somewhat fits the theme…

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.

[–] Jyek@sh.itjust.works 1 points 4 hours ago

No he's just going hard on the offensive because Trump is literally trying to take over the state of California through militant force.

[–] Melvin_Ferd@lemmy.world 6 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Are you fucking kidding me. Him throwing Trump's shit back in his face is so funny. Leave it to leftist to get upset and bored of it the second day.

[–] Kazumara@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 2 hours ago

That up there is aimed at nothing of significance, and not even funny.

Some of them were funny, but if even the bad ones get wide distribution, then it just makes me wonder.

[–] psmgx@lemmy.world 18 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] Tja@programming.dev 1 points 1 hour ago

So a day ending in y?
