Though we’ve been told for several days that Wednesday or Thursday would be the most likely times for failed one-term, twice-impeached former president Donald Trump to be arrested, booked, photographed, and processed in Manhattan, it now looks like that has been delayed until next week at the soonest.
Business Insider reports that the grand jury investigating Trump’s hush money payment to adult film star Stormy Daniels has been told to stay home today.
The Manhattan ‘hush-money’ grand jury has been told not to come in on Wednesday, a cancellation that comes on the brink of a possible historic indictment vote of former President Donald Trump, according to two law enforcement officers.
And while nothing beyond Wednesday is set in stone, it is unlikely that the grand jury will meet at all this week, said one of the law enforcement sources, who spoke to Insider on condition of anonymity.
Despite the apparent delay in the case, it doesn’t mean that creative people haven’t been busy on their computers cooking up all sorts of fun images of the Donald being apprehended.
Mediaite reports that pictures generated with artificial intelligence (AI) are making the rounds on social media, and people are loving them.
Tuesday has come and gone with no arrest, but the hopeful have been brought closer to fulfillment by sharing AI-generated photo-fakes of Trump that went viral, and even inspired an Associated Press Fact-Check. and a Snopes-ing.
The photos vary in quality and subject matter, and according to KnowYourMeme originated Saturday with a now-deleted thread by a user named @TheInfiniteDude that included a Trump mug shot:
Or how about this one of Donnie running from the authorities, though it’s unlikely he can run with those nasty bone spurs that kept him out of serving in Vietnam.
There’s also this one of Trump being grabbed by officers from the NYPD:
And this one, though it remains unclear why Dotard Don has on a utility belt. Was he trying to pull a Batman?
Trump being loaded into a police SUV:
There’s also Trump going full Tony Montana and trying to hold off the cops with semiautomatic rifle, though it’s doubtful he could fire the damn thing without assistance:
Until we get the real mug shots, we’ll just have to enjoy what we have.
