Trump Organisation Guilty Verdict Inspires Twitters Users To New Heights Of Snark
Tuesday’s verdict against the Trump Organization was bad news for former President Donald Trump, his family members and employees.
On the bright side, it seemed to inspire some Twitter users to new heights of “schadenfreude,” that very apt German word that basically means “finding joy in others misfortunes.”
After a jury found Trump’s company guilty of tax fraud and other crimes, people following the case expressed on social media the joy of the American ideal that no one is above the law.
In the process, #TrumpCrimeFamily became a trending term.
A sampling of snark follows.
The Trump Org is now a criminal organization. It's no longer just a matter of opinion, it's a matter of fact.

For now and forever, the Trump Org will be a criminal enterprise in the eyes of the law, among banks and other lenders, and in the historical record.#TrumpCrimeFamily

I look forward to all of the "law and order" conservatives cheering on the conviction of the Trump Org for a years-long scheme to defraud the taxpayers.

Maybe the rest of America will finally realize what a monstrous liar & criminal Trump is!

One man wondered if foreclosures are in the future for the Trump Organisation and offered suggestions.
Now that Trump Org is guilty I hope @ManhattanDA is going to foreclose on some Trump property, right? Can I suggest the plane?

One guy addressed Donald Trump Jr. directly after the former president’s first son, who, for some reason, decided to tweet about the conviction of Michael Avenetti, Stormy Daniels’ former attorney, rather than his own company’s devastating loss in court.
Speaking of cheating … how about those 17 guilty verdicts today against the felony fraudster Trump crime organization! https://t.co/onXvZiyiqt

Another pointed out that QAnon have already created a conspiracy theory about the verdict.
QAnon people are already noting that Trump Org was convicted of 17 counts, and the 17th letter of the alphabet is Q.

Finally, Donald Trump’s former lawyer, Michael Cohen, who was very familiar with how the Trump Organisation did business, praised the jury for making what he though was the right decision.
The right decision was made by the jury. It’s time for the Manhattan DA to hold individuals accountable! Manhattan Jury Finds Trump Org Guilty on All Counts of Tax Crimes @thedailybeasthttps://t.co/3v7IzjJ6kB
