Memes mocking Donald Trump’s mugshot go viral on social media after his arrest

MEMES mocking Donald Trump’s mugshot have gone viral on social media after his arrest.

One showed Trump in the trademark outfit of Batman’s arch-nemesis The Joker – complete with bright green hair and a red suit jacket.

Another meme showed Trump’s “presidential portrait” supposedly being moved into position in the White House bunker – where the ex-President is said to have hidden during protests outside his residence in May 2020.

Within moments of the image hitting the internet, hashtags including #TrumpMugshot and #OrangeIsTheNewOrange began trending on X, formerly known as Twitter.

One user joked the scowl on Trump’s face was “what the chicken nuggets in my microwave see at 3am.”

Sean O’Neill added alongside the instantly iconic pic: “How I look at myself on the Tesco self checkout camera while buying a litre of Diet Coke, ibuprofen, and a large bag of Monster Munch at 4pm on a Sunday.”

And someone else claimed he was “the first former US President to perfect blue steel” – a reference to the 2001 Ben Stiller film Zoolander.

The Republican frontrunner, 77, also posted a string of memes to his own Truth Social platform.

They included a version of the mugshot with 18 guns pointed at his face – labelled with the names of supposed enemies including “DEMOCRATS”, “FAKE NEWS” and “COMMUNISTS”.
