Critics Ridicule Donald Trump Over Latest Indictment

LOADINGERROR LOADING

Donald Trump’s latest indictment — on charges that he attempted to pressure officials to overturn his 2020 election loss in Georgia — predictably prompted a number of mocking responses on social media.

Users of X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, taunted the former president after he was charged on Monday with more than a dozen felonies.

“I liked his earlier, funnier indictments,” cracked comedian and actor Patton Oswalt.

“BREAKING: Donald Trump becomes only the fourth actor from Home Alone 2 to be indicted after Donald Trump, Donald Trump, and Donald Trump,” added comedian Zack Bornstein.

Trump all but sets up a GoPro on his noggin to record him doing all his crimes but his fanboys will still go "an innocent hero has been persecuted" every time he's indicted. We just need to accept it. And enjoy the indictmenting.

Just imagining going back in time 20 years ago to explain to someone that Rudy Giuliani got indicted for attempting to overturn a presidential election on behalf of incumbent Donald Trump and Kanye West's publicist was a co-conspirator

Well, I guess all that’s that’s left for Republicans to consider abandoning Trump is the proverbial shooting on 5th Avenue. But when you’re a member of a twisted Cult, even that might not be enough.

Donald Trump, Rudy Giuliani, Jeffrey Clarke, Jenna Ellis, Sydney Powell, and other insurrectionists just got indicted in Fulton County, Georgia.

Happy indictment-mass.
