The hashtag “Arrestmas” started trending on Twitter ahead of Donald Trump’s anticipated arrest in connection with the yearslong investigation into a hush-money scheme involving adult film actress Stormy Daniels who had engaged in alleged sexual encounters with the former president.

Anti-Trump Twitter users started sharing memes with the hashtag that kind of sounded like Christmas. Some people called it “#Arrestmas eve,” to suggest that Monday was nothing less than Christmas eve for them, before Tuesday, which is when the former president might be put in handcuffs.

The video of the New York Police Department setting up barricades outside of the Manhattan Criminal Court ahead of Trump’s anticipated arrest went viral on Twitter on Monday. In the video, a number of press reporters could be seen already setting up cameras and lights ahead of the event which will no doubt be heavily covered across the media houses.

The NYPD has also ordered the mobilization of 700 riot police at the scene. There also reports that more than a dozen senior Police Department officials and two of the mayor’s top public safety aides held a virtual meeting to discuss security, staffing, and contingency plans in the event of any protests.

Donald Trump may soon become the first sitting or former president in American history to be charged with a crime. Following the news of his impending arrest, Trump organized a full-fledged rally in Waco, Texas on Saturday, March 25.
