Donald Trump’s latest indictment on charges that he attempted to pressure officials to overturn his 2020 election loss in Georgia predictably prompted much mockery on social media.
Users of X, formerly Twitter, taunted the former president after he was charged on Monday with more than a dozen felonies, including racketeering.
“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,” joked comedian Zack Bornstein.

If Donald Trump doesn’t get indicted every few weeks he gets sick like E.T.

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

Fox News: Is Hunter Biden really a hunter?
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.
