He's been hate-watching The Magic Schoolbus. He still longs for Lily Tomlin, even after she rejected him and his little mushroom back in 1979. The world might have been a different place had she made that ultimate sacrifice.

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.

When in doubt you need Bela B

But is the horse okay? Tugs braid

[–] sad_detective_man@leminal.space 56 points 15 hours ago

Many such kovfefe 😔

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 8 points 11 hours ago

Due to the negative press Bela

[–] voldage@lemmy.world 10 points 12 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 3 points 6 hours ago

bela

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

[–] logicbomb@lemmy.world 74 points 18 hours ago (6 children)

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 5 points 5 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 5 points 5 hours ago

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

[–] EtnaAtsume@lemmy.world 7 points 10 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 25 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

I would be surprised if he locks his phone at all

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

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

[–] TehWorld@lemmy.world 15 points 12 hours ago

Incredible! That’s the combination to my luggage!

Belaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

[–] CatZoomies@lemmy.world 23 points 15 hours ago

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

Trump: “Bela”

[–] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 15 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

The Donald searching for Bauhaus songs in the wrong app.

[–] nymnympseudonym@lemmy.world 7 points 12 hours ago

Undead! Undead! Undead!

[–] blattrules@lemmy.world 27 points 16 hours ago

Nope, he’s always been stupid.

[–] aegis_sum@lemmy.world 47 points 17 hours ago (2 children)

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

[–] jj4211@lemmy.world 47 points 17 hours ago (6 children)

Maybe he died while typing it?

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

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!

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

[–] Kazumara@discuss.tchncs.de 11 points 15 hours ago (2 children)

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 2 points 6 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 7 points 9 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 4 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 19 points 17 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 3 hours ago

So a day ending in y?
