A Manhattan grand jury indicted Donald Trump on Thursday, making him the first former US president to be charged with a crime.

And while it's currently unclear what charges Trump faces, the Manhattan District Attorney's office had been investigating Trump's personal and business finances, including a payment Michael Cohen — Trump's former personal attorney turned nemesis — made to adult-film actress Stormy Daniels just days before the 2016 election.

While the news of the indictment stirred Trump, his allies, his opponents, and the media into a frenzy, it also spurred some top-quality memes across social media. 

From references to the popular show "Succession" to Gwyneth Paltrow ski trial comparisons, here are the best memes of Trump's indictment.
