Yesterday, Donald Trump made history as the first president to be arraigned on criminal charges.
In a Manhattan courthouse, the former president pleaded not guilty to 34 felony counts of falsifying business records in the first degree, and the reaction to this unprecedented moment has been staggering online. As a country that tackles groundbreaking news with jokes, Twitter came prepared:

For more than 8 years, Trump has led chants of "Lock her up!" about Hillary Clinton. Today as HE is under arrest in NY, his Truth Social posts reveal a man in disbelief: "Seems so SURREAL β WOW, they are going to ARREST ME. Canβt believe this is happening in America."
