Donald Trump's Second Indictment Sparks Meme Fest on Twitter

On March 30, 2023, a grand jury in New York voted to indict former president Donald Trump on multiple charges. During his initial arraignment, the jury was focused on a hush money payment that Trump associate Michael Cohen previously made to adult film star Stormy Daniels prior to the 2016 election.

The payment was intended to silence Daniels after she claimed that she and Trump had an affair in 2006. Cohen was believed to have paid her $130,000 of his own money, which he was later reimbursed for by Trump.

After Trump's indictment was announced, the former president released a statement regarding the verdict.

"This is Political Persecution and Election Interference at the highest level in history...The Democrats have lied, cheated and stolen in their obsession with trying to ‘Get Trump,’ but now they’ve done the unthinkable - indicting a completely innocent person in an act of blatant Election Interference... I believe this Witch-Hunt will backfire massively on Joe Biden... we are going to throw every last one of these Crooked Democrats out of office so we can MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”

Joseph Tacopina, who was one of Trump's attorneys, told CBS News at the time via text that Trump's legal team expects him to surrender to authorities "likely Tuesday," following discussions with the Manhattan DA's office until late Thursday night.

While we wait for that, let's take a look at some memes as the internet clearly couldn't hold back from making cracks at this situation. I mean, how often does a U.S. president get indicted?

Back in March, the Twitter comedians came out to play after hearing the news of former president Trump's indictment. Or perhaps we should say the indictment of former Home Alone 2: Lost in New York star, as the account @DiscussingFilm jested.

Other folks made up their own names for Trump.

And even the the folks who usually steer away from politics contributed to the conversation.

For many, this was viewed as a highlight in Trump's career.

A true moment of celebration!

And oof, maybe Trump should have been indicted for his spelling first.

In addition to this case, Trump is still being investigated for his alleged involvement in attempting to overturn the 2020 election and for those classified documents found at his Mar-a-Lago home.

Several months after his initial arraignment, the meme train on the former president is still rolling. By early June 2023, Donald Trump was indicted a second time by a federal grand jury for the alleged mishandling of more than 100 classified documents. As outlets like NBC News report that he faces over seven counts of false statements and "conspiracy to obstruct."

How could folks not want to meme on Trump after that?

We know one former presidential candidate who will be celebrating the news.

Plenty of folks keeping track of the news saw this coming.

Funny how conservatives react to an avalanche of bad news against their preferred president.

Because who thinks to celebrate a three-month anniversary in the first place?

We're not even halfway through Pride Month, and there are so many reasons to celebrate!

Some folks are pretending to be upset over Trump's second indictment. They're not pretending well, but you gotta respect the grind.

Lest we forget that Donald Trump is a former reality show star. He wasn't on The Biggest Loser, but he sure looks like one.

Hard for some folks not to celebrate a momentous occasion in US presidential history.

Special Counsel Jack Smith is getting ready to make this special indictee dance again.

For a crowd who love to call Trump haters snowflakes, we're likely to see some interesting reactions in the coming weeks.

Someone ought to tell MAGA supporters that crimes are only illegal on days that end with a "Y".

Donald Trump is expected to face another arraignment on Tuesday, June 13.
