Donald Trump Indictment Sparks Meme Fest on Twitter
Donald Trump's Second Indictment Sparks Meme Fest on Twitter
By Kelly CorbettJun. 9 2023, Updated 11:48 a.m. ET
On March 30, 2023, a grand jury in New York voted to indict former president Donald Trump on more than one charges. During his initial arraignment, the jury used to be centered on a hush cash fee that Trump associate Michael Cohen previously made to grownup film famous person Stormy Daniels previous to the 2016 election.
The fee used to be meant 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 via Trump.
After Trump's indictment was introduced, the former president launched a statement in regards to 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 "most 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?
Donald Trump indictment memes run rampant on Twitter.
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.

Trump posts on Truth Social that he has been "INDICATED." pic.twitter.com/GORUzWHboG
— Ben Collins (@oneunderscore__) March 30, 2023In 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.
More memes sprouted after his June 2023 indictments.
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 impede."
How could folks not want to meme on Trump after that?
History books are gonna have a FIELD DAY with the fact that the guy who spent the entire 2016 election accusing his opponent of mishandling classified information (she didn’t) became the first former president to be indicted for exactly that. pic.twitter.com/bYklhTnfXJ
— Mikel Jollett (@Mikel_Jollett) June 9, 2023We know one former presidential candidate who will be celebrating the news.
Getting indicted by a grand jury for his crimes & corruption is something Trump never thought he would go through, that his white privilege put him above the law.

— LA Blue Dot in GA 🌊💔 (@namwella1961) June 9, 2023Plenty of folks keeping track of the news saw this coming.
The same people who have been, desperately, trying to find wrongdoing from Biden are the ones horrified at 45 being indicted for actual crimes.
