Donald Trump pleads not guilty in the stormy Daniels Hush Money case, celebrities react
While many celebrities celebrated, Meghan McCain said: “You all help him. to make him a martyr. And probably re-elect him.”
Donald Trump made history Tuesday by becoming the first sitting or former US president to be impeached.
He turned himself in to authorities in Manhattan around 1:30 p.m. ET before being charged in court before a judge.
Before surrendering, he posted: “Heading to lower Manhattan, the courthouse. Seems so SURREAL – WOW they’re going to ARREST ME. I can’t believe this is happening in America. MAGA!” He also waved to the crowd of MAGA fans waiting outside the courthouse before entering.
The former president has pleaded not guilty to 34 counts of forgery of business records and conspiracy following an investigation related to an alleged payment of $130,000 in hush money to adult entertainer Stormy Daniels following an alleged affair. After his indictment, Trump is to fly back to Mar-a-Lago.
“This is going to end badly,” McCain tweeted ahead of the indictment, adding that she believes this whole situation will do nothing more than help Trump get re-elected in 2024.
Yvette Nicole Brown was in the mood to celebrate – she tweeted: “Isn’t that GRAND! Thank you @ManhattanDA! Thank you NYC! I have to say it’s *chef’s kiss* that he got arrested in NEW YORK, the city he thought he OWN! We ALL laugh at you @realDonaldTrump! & it’s not a sad day. It’s a GLORIOUS day that proves NOBODY is above the law!”
Daniels himself also sent a very NSFW tweet Amid the madness, he wrote in part, “It’s definitely more fun being under my sexy husband than being under arrest.”
Plenty of celebrities shared the latter sentiment — here’s what they’re saying on social media on this historic day.
Isn’t it great! Thanks @ManhattanDA! Thank you New York!
I have to say it’s *cook’s kiss* 🤌🏾 That he was arrested in NEW YORK, the city he thought belonged to him!
We ALL laugh at you @realDonaldTrump!

The people around him are trying to spin charges and arrests, saying it’s good for Trump. That he is optimistic and defiant.
None of the glances we’ve seen from him reflect that.
They put the same “this is very bad shit” face on any sane person under the same circumstances. pic.twitter.com/oR7zd55ISF

34 offenses. 34 offenses. Our politics and the media have never been the same since this man entered the political arena. We, the people, deserve so much better. We deserve leaders with integrity, with honor, who put public service above all else https://t.co/2e2kjrMAUL
