So that’s Trump’s own personal attorney, and the guy who was at one time in charge of his entire campaign, both found guilty of felonies on the same day, with Trump himself implicated by at least one of them. As we said, a little bit of news today.
A pattern quickly developed early in Trump’s campaign, and it has grown only more evident during his presidency. What’s bad for Trump is good for people who like to tell jokes on Twitter. Political comedy might be withering in late night and on cable network schedules, but the rapid fire pace and instant gratification of the internet keeps it running on all cylinders on Twitter. Sure, Jack Dorsey and his microblogging mistake might be messing up in glorious fashion when it comes to dealing with far right trolls and conspiracy mongers on its site, but it’s still the most useful way to exult over the prosecution or imprisonment of Trump’s criminal underlings.
Here are the best tweets about today’s news concerning Michael Cohen, Paul Manafort and Donald Trump, from some of the funniest writers and comedians who can still stomach Twitter.
Trump: I never met Cohen or Manafort. Giuliani: They are not actually real. Stephen Miller: White people cannot get a fair trial. Pence: Mother…? Mother Pence: Shh. Soon.
Trump is so unlucky! Can you imagine the odds of inadvertently surrounding yourself with that many criminals over and over again?! That dumpy fuck can’t catch a break!
If Michael Cohen takes a plea deal and Paul Manafort gets convicted on the same day, how many nuclear missiles will Trump launch while sitting on the toilet screaming?
