The criminal prosecution of Donald Trump has outraged his Republican supporters, but it has also given rise to many jokes circulating on social media among Trump’s ideological opponents. The ex-president’s role in the film Home Alone 2 is a frequent motive for jokes. Hollywood director Quentin Tarantino and famous presenter Jimmy Fallon also commented on his accusations.
Several jokes and memes refer to Trump’s brief role in the film Home Alone 2: Lost in New York (1992). In a luxury hotel, a lost ten-year-old boy, Kevin, asks Trump, who is in the role of himself, where to get to the lobby, and Trump tells him that he will go straight and to the left. People are now pointing out that Trump might actually be asking Kevin where he’s going to get to his cell, and Kevin says “down the hall and to the left.”
Irish theater director Dean Johnson on his twitter he noted, that “Trump will become the third character from Home Alone 2 to end up in prison” along with notorious thieves Harry and Marv. By John Brammer again he jokedthat Trump is now barricading himself in his Florida mansion at Mar-a-Lago and is setting traps just like Kevin did for Harry and Marv at his house.
He finally won the popular vote
Hollywood director Quentin Tarantino to Trump on his Instagram he congratulated, that he “finally won the popular vote”. A twenty-three-member jury in New York’s Manhattan voted on Trump’s indictment, and Tarantino in his “congratulations” also referred to Trump’s refusal to admit defeat in the presidential election three years ago.
To win the popular vote pointed out and the manager of The Daily Show’s Twitter account. The popular talk show host John Leguizamo announced the jury’s decision on Trump’s indictment to his audience in the audience during the taping on Thursday, prompting a wild reaction from the crowd applause. Similarly reacted and the audience of host Jimmy Fallon in his talk show The Tonight Show. American discussion and publicist “late night” programs are traditionally more popular among Democrats than among Republicans.
“Some are worried that Trump’s arrest will divide the nation. Well, sure, because until now we’ve all been friendly and eating pizza together at the same table,” Fallon quipped on Friday.
Trump is the first ever US president to be criminally prosecuted. The exact subject of the indictment is not yet public, although a Manhattan judge has already approved its publication. However, a New York grand jury was looking into Trump’s alleged confidentiality payments to two women with whom he allegedly had extramarital affairs. Trump subsequently recorded these payments in his accounting as “legal expenses”, since the payment was made through his lawyer.
