When Donald Trump came up on Gogglebox, the couch critics couldn’t help but crack a joke or two.
The politician and former The Apprentice host is the first past or current US President to face criminal charges in history.
Following a series of claims of hush money transactions to adult film Stormy Daniels, 44, in the run-up to his election campaign in 2016, Trump, 76, has been charged with 34 felony charges of falsifying company records in the first degree.
The 45th President of the United States was formally detained last Thursday and hauled to a New York City court, where his fingerprints were taken and he pled not guilty to the allegations.
The Gogglebox actors were unsurprised by the catastrophe when they responded on Friday night (April 7).
‘What a shock,’ Pete Sandiford gasped.
‘Didn’t see that coming,’ sister Sophie added sarcastically.
Her brother quipped: ‘Out of all the ex Presidents, you wouldn’t have thought it’d be Donald, would ya?’
Stephen Webb then continued to amuse viewers by mispronouncing Daniel’s name and referring to her as “Spanky Jackson.”
The TV personalities then mocked Trump for his typo-filled response to the claims.
He wrote on social media: ‘These Thugs and Radical Left Monsters have just INDICATED the 45th President of the United States of America… THIS IS AN ATTACK ON OUR COUNTRY THE LIKES OF WHICH HAS NEVER BEEN SEEN BEFORE.’
‘SO SAD!’, he declared.
The keen-eyed among you will observe that ‘indicted’ has been misspelt as ‘indicated,’ which was not lost on some Gogglebox families.
‘Oh my God, he’s spelt “indictment” as “indicated”,’ one laughed.
‘He’s illiterate like me,’ mocked brothers Twaine, Tremaine, and Tristan Plummer.
‘Nanna writes messages in capital letters,’ said Alison Worthington.
‘Yeah, it’s OAPs and people who are unhinged that do shouting text,’ agreed daughter Helena.
Pete and Sophie, then indicated that having sexual contact with Trump is “not something you’d advertise.”
‘If anything, I’d be paying him to shut up!’, they joked.
The Goggleboxers were taken aback by ITV News reporting that showed Trump calling Daniels “Stormy horse-faced Daniels.”
‘I mean, he’s no oil painting himself!’, Pete argued, labelling him ‘Donald Creosote Trump’.
To top it all off, while Trump struggles to avoid incarceration, Danielle and Daniella made one last remark about his skin tone.
‘Frigging hell, imagine Donald Trump in an orange jumpsuit in the yard… it’d just be teeth!’
Classic.
Gogglebox continues Friday at 9pm on Channel 4.
