Trump has been indicted, officially.
I do not find this a source of comedy. Yet, I can understand and even sympathize with those who take great and loud joys.
No former president has ever before faced official criminal charges. This sets a new precedent. And it might not even be it. In fact, now that this has happened, I suspect that Trump will find himself indicted on other charges, in places outside of New York, as well.
King Con Don thinks everyone is stupid. He plays everybody for fools. Of course, tens of millions of people number among his most loyal supporters, thus both enabling and encouraging him to keep on doing exactly what he is doing.
However, there should always be ramifications for doing wrong, and breaking the law. Trump paid off a porn star, even though he still cannot bring himself to admit it. From the very beginning, King Con Don has been like a clown, and has made the American political landscape resemble a circus.
But if it was ever funny - and frankly, many of us never found Trump or his shenanigans remotely funny - then the joke stopped being funny long ago. As Glenn Kirschner suggested in the video (link in prior post), we really started to resemble a banana republic. At the very least, it seemed like we were on the way towards abandoning our democracy and converting into a banana republic.
So on that score, I can certainly understand people taking this news with great joy.
In any case, here is one video providing a comedic, late night talk show reaction to the news:
