Michael Cohen: Trump is being relentlessly trolled after he was identified as 'Individual-1'

Donald Trump has found himself being ridiculed again after memos filed against his former lawyer Michael Cohen identified him as 'Individual-1.'

The memos filed by Robert Mueller and federal prosecutors at the Southern District of New York suggested that Cohen spend 51 to 63 months in prison for a range of federal crimes.

These offences include tax evasion and violating campaign finance laws, which include the hush money which was paid to Stormy Daniels and Karen McDougal before the 2016 presidential election.

In the memo from the New York prosecutors, Cohen is referred to as Chairman 1, whilst there were several references to someone called 'Individual-1' who just happened to run an "ultimately successful campaign of president of the United States."

No prizes for guessing who that is.

There had been previous speculation about who 'Individual-1' could be but this is the clearest indication yet that this mysterious figure is Trump.

However, Trump had either not read the memos or was completely oblivious to their implications as he later tweeted that the documents 'totally clears the president.'

It's not entirely clear what Trump was trying to prove with this tweet but it didn't stop the folks on Twitter from trolling him to high heaven with references to 'Individual-1'.

Here are some of our favourites.

Of course, we wouldn't be entirely surprised if Trump thinks that 'Individual-1' is someone else.

What does this mean for Donald Trump Jr...sorry, we mean 'Individual-1 Jr'.

Still, at least it provides every child with the same dream that they too could grow up and achieve such a prestigious title.
