Trump 'bela' post is new 'covfefe,' stirs Newsom into action

(The Hill) A key meeting on the Russia-Ukraine war is set for Monday. Erin has been downgraded to a tropical storm but could still cause danger.

But some on the internet want to know what President Trump was talking about with his “bela” post.

Trump at 8:31 a.m. on Sunday posted the one-word message on his Truth Social media account. The word means beautiful in Italian if spelled with a double L, as “bella.”

Perhaps the president was looking at something, outside or on television, that sparked him to send the message. Whatever it was, it had a number of notables weighing in.

Trump and California Gov. Gavin Newsom have been feuding, and the Democrat’s press office took the occasion to argue it is winning.

“We broke Donald Trump,” Newsom’s press office wrote in response to the “bela” post.

In an earlier post, Newsom’s office took more shots at Trump, seemingly inviting the president into an online fight with shots at his “tiny hands.”

The Lincoln Project, the conservative group that opposes Trump and is active on social media, wrote that Trump had dropped the new “Covfefe.”

Trump, during his first term, bewildered much of the country back in 2017 with the original “covfefe” post, which was likely a typo of some sort. Back then, the president’s musings on Twitter, the social platform later renamed X, were watched by much of the country and world perhaps more avidly than now.

George Conway, the frequent Trump critic, was also reminded of “covfefe,” writing that “bela” was a “blend” of “covfefe.”

Rep. Jared Moskowitz (D-Fla.), responding to the post, wrote “that’s what we call Comer,” apparently a reference to the chair of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.).

Another account suggested a simple explanation. Trump was writing about Belarus, and got cut off with a typo.
