First, let us all get a little bit of perspective on what is happening in our country right at this moment in regards to this news.

x FBI: Raids Trump's for-profit house.



World: Wow, I wonder which of Trump's crimes this is about. — Hunter (@HunterDK) August 8, 2022

Then, of course, there’s the question of how Fox News is spinning things freaking out.

To put this into perspective, they are throwing Alex Jones-level everything against the wall to see what might stick or mollify their audience.

Let’s take a breath and focus on some classic memes.

Anyone want a dad joke?

Knock knock.

Who’s there?

The Feds. — Dan Rather (@DanRather) August 8, 2022

How about another joke?

x Donald Trump is at Trump Tower now trying to squeeze Rudy Giuliani down the toilet. — Mr. Newberger (@jeremynewberger) August 9, 2022

What about this joke of a human being?

Maybe someone who had an intimate decades-long relationship with Trump can give us an alternate view of things?

x The look on your face when you learn that the @fbi just raided Mar-a-Lardo and #TFG is shitting a brick!!!#KarmaBoomerang pic.twitter.com/Na9x85TrNA — Michael Cohen (@MichaelCohen212) August 8, 2022

And keeping with the flavor of the day.

x trump couldn't lock up hillary in 4 years, brandon raided his home in 2. pic.twitter.com/kbEA4ll3fR — hasanabi (@hasanthehun) August 8, 2022

And here’s to the hope that our country can still find its way back to justice.

x Would seem that executing a search warrant on Mar-a-Lago would be a pretty compelling data point to those deciding whether to testify to Jan 6 committee or otherwise flip on Trump pic.twitter.com/f51Nsmnh3c — Clara Jeffery (@ClaraJeffery) August 9, 2022

Because here’s a reminder of what Trump represents, what the Republican Party represents, and what our country is fighting against.

x The “they cry out in pain when they strike you” is a popular line among white nationalists and antisemitic groups.



The origin is a Polish proverb: “The Jew cries out in pain as he strikes you.”



It has been popular meme in TheDonald for quite some time. https://t.co/MVZCgZFE3F — Elad Nehorai (@EladNehorai) August 8, 2022

My current feelings:

x Fed's Raided Mar-A-Lago. Oh shit.... Shit's poppin off. — ICE T (@FINALLEVEL) August 8, 2022

x FBI conducts a search warrant at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago.

And this one because it’s perfectly poetic.

UPDATE: Turns out, according to Trump’s daughter-in-law, the FBI was likely serving a warrant to get old clipping of USA Today.
