Donald Trump's 'fingerprints' mocked following historic arrest
Donald Trump's 'fingerprints' have been mocked on social media following his arrest on Thursday and viral mugshot which birthed a thousand memes. The former US president turned himself in to authorities in Fulton County, Georgia where he is facing charges of election interference in the aftermath of the 2020 vote, which saw the southern state vote for Joe Biden over Trump. Trump, along with 18 others including his former lawyer Rudy Guiliani are facing numerous charges including conspiracy to replace public officials with fake ones and trying to influence officials to alter the results. The already famous mugshot, which Trump is using to raise campaign funds, isn't the only body part of Trump to be mocked following his arrest. Trump despite weighing 215 lbs and standing at a towering 6ft 3in, has always been mocked for his supposedly tiny hands. As a result memes claiming to show his fingerprints have gone viral although they are so minuscule it's hard to make out that they are anything more than just dots. There were also jokes made about the fingertips being orange due to Trump's seemingly unnatural skin tone. However, not all the memes were mocking Trump. Some of his supporters capitalised on this to show a handprint that was flipping a middle finger at the booking form. Jokes aside Trump's trial date has been set but we'll have to wait a while for it to roll around as it has been set for March 4th 2024.

Rachel Morin’s mother shares ‘unbearable’ pain as Bel Air killer still at large weeks after murder: update
Loved ones gathered on Sunday to honor Rachel Morin’s memory as her killer remains at large weeks after she was found dead on the Ma & Pa Trail in Bel Air, Maryland. The 37-year-old’s heartbroken mother shared what she felt when she found out her daughter’s body had been found. “The pain was so unbearable,” Patty Morin said. Morin was found dead after heading off for a walk along on the trail on 6 August. Harford County Sheriff Jeff Gahler recently told Fox News that identifying and catching the suspect is a “top priority” amid fears that he could do “something harmful to someone else”. “This individual poses a threat to every community from here to Los Angeles because we don’t know where he’s laying his head at night,” Sheriff Gahler said. The Harford County Sheriff’s Office revealed that DNA found at the scene of Morin’s murder had been matched to the DNA left at a home where an unknown man broke into a home in Los Angeles and violently attacked a young girl back in March. “The public will not be safe until we get him in custody,” Sheriff Gahler said.
