In March of 2024, actor Mark Hamill compiled a greatest hits list of MAGA Republican President Donald Trump's misspellings, mispronunciations, and utterly made-up words.

On Sunday, August 17, Trump added a new word to the list when he took to Truth Social and posted just one four-letter non-word:

"Bela"

@realDonaldTrump/Truth Social

People are likening it to another profound Trump post from May 2017, when he took to Twitter to state:

"Despite the constant negative press covfefe"

@realDonaldTrump/Twitter

People speculated on what Trump meant.

With perhaps none more soundly than California Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom's Press Office.

"DONALD (TINY HANDS), HAS WRITTEN HIS AUTOBIOGRAPHY THIS MORNING — UNFORTUNATELY (LOW IQ) HE SPELLED IT WRONG — 'BETA', the press office wrote on X. 'SOON YOU WILL BE A "FIRED" BETA BECAUSE OF MY PERFECT, 'BEAUTIFUL MAPS'. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER! — GCN."


This is hilarious. Gov Newsom is really getting under Trump’s wrinkly liver spotted skinTrump even tried to troll Newsom back but failed miserably by misspelling “Beta” with “Bela”Or maybe he just watched an old Bela Lugosi movieTrump is losing his mind over Newsom’s trolling#ProudBlue

Trump's defenders on Truth Social claim the MAGA leader meant to type the country "Belarus." Others thought it was a planned reference to South Africa's reportedly controversial Basic Education Laws Amendment (BELA).

Trump reposted one such claim, but never clarified nor deleted his own four-letter post.

Marvel Just Confirmed That Chris Evans Is Returning For 'Avengers: Doomsday'—And Fans Have Mixed Feelings

Folks, once again, continuity is more of a suggestion than a rule in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Marvel has officially confirmed that Chris Evans is returning as Steve Rogers in Avengers: Doomsday, and the internet has responded exactly how you’d expect: screaming, celebrating, arguing, and a very justified side-eye toward how Sam Wilson keeps getting treated.

The confirmation comes via a teaser now playing exclusively in theaters ahead of Avatar: Fire and Ash. There is no official online release, despite leaks circulating. If you didn’t catch it on the big screen, Marvel’s response is essentially: sorry, guess you had to be there.
