Donald Trump was arrested in New York City on Tuesday afternoon for his part in paying hush money to adult film star Stormy Daniels before the 2016 election. This was done to prevent her from speaking out about their affair. As a result, people have started creating funny memes on social media about the situation.
On the morning of the event, crowds began to gather as early as 9:30 a.m. outside the building. Among the gathering were protesters, counterprotesters, government officials, and reporters, all eager to catch a glimpse of what was happening. However, on Twitter, some users took a different approach and shared jokes about the arrest and even mocked the person in question.Headline on every page rn is trump under arrest!

Even smaller events during the day became fodder for jokes. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene arrived to lead a morning rally on his behalf but was quickly surrounded by a crowd, which whistled, booed, cheered, and chanted. Videos of the conservative member of Congress went viral on Twitter, as "New Yorkers" began trending on Twitter. "New Yorkers really got Marjorie Taylor Greene’s club footed ass right on up outta there," one wrote.He might have deleted but that’s okay, others do not forget what time it is pic.twitter.com/UKLFdXvmTM

Since the indictment was announced last Thursday, Trump's appearance has been the subject of heavy public scrutiny and memeage. While AI-generated photos of Trump's headshot and the scene in Manhattan began floating around the internet, and some made jokes about Trump's decision to appear in person (which was not required), many users pointed out how much content there was to be mined from the situation.
Others mocked the heavy media coverage and its similarities to the O.J. Simpson trial of 1995, when news outlets had 24/7 coverage of the case, including the infamous broadcast of the white Bronco highway chase.
"The OJ-esque cable coverage is beyond parody, but Trump is the center of the political universe because he's a dangerous demagogue who could very easily become president again," Pod Save America host Jon Favreau tweeted. "That's not the media's fault, that's the fault of nearly every elected Republican and the MAGA base."
And despite all this, in an even more unserious twist, the arraignment is only the second-most-trending topic on Twitter, right behind the trailer release of Greta Gerwig's upcoming live-action film Barbie, and people on Twitter were quick to point out the hilarious irony of it all.
Even celebrities joined in on the fun.
