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 Democrats press office took the occasion to argue it is winning.
We broke Donald Trump, Newsoms press office wrote in response to the bela post.

'Bela' is Russian for 'white (feminine form)'. Probably picked it up from Putin. nt

I think her full name is Isabella. I read this on another DU post. It made sense to me. He was threatening the child.
