Trump posted a mysterious message on his Truth Social account on Sunday that left people puzzled, at least for a little while.

The "Bela" message came one day after the anniversary of the Aug. 16, 1956, death of screen icon Bela Lugosi, best known for his portrayal of Dracula in the 1931 film of the same name.
