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.

Trans Flag Firing at Yosemite

A Transgender Pride flag raised over Yosemite’s El Capitan in May has now become the hill the National Park Service chose to die on—costing one ranger their job and igniting a national uproar about free speech, visibility, and hypocrisy on America’s public lands.

Dr. Shannon “SJ” Joslin, a ranger who is trans and uses they/them pronouns, was joined by activists including drag queen Pattie Gonia in what was described as “a celebration of trans belonging in nature, in community and everywhere.”

Every year, the Cambridge Dictionary rolls out new additions to its catalogue of accepted terms, and just as the English language is always changing, so is that catalogue.

But admittedly in recent years, the Cambridge Dictionary and Merriam-Webster have both had some validating and interesting additions, like updating their definitions of "woman" and "race," as well as adding "first husband" while Vice President Kamala Harris was in office.
