Donald Trump\u2019s mugshot instantly becomes popular Twitch emote Donald Trump | Twitter\/TwitchIn the hours following the official release of Donald Trump\u2019s mugshot, his face has gone viral as a custom Twitch emote with the code \u2018GotCaughtTrolling.\u2019 Some of Twitch\u2019s biggest streamers have already picked it up for their chats. Over the years, passionate Twitch users have created a number of browser extensions that give people access to custom emotes on the platform. At this point, a massive portion of users have access to these extensions. Streamers can create and set their own custom emotes, or they can adopt emotes other creators have uploaded. This has led to certain emotes going viral like WeirdChamp or ratJAM that are commonly used across many streamers\u2019 chats. While these extensions are popular, it\u2019s important to note the emotes on these platforms aren\u2019t endorsed by Twitch themselves. It should come as no surprise that, when Donald Trump\u2019s mugshot was uploaded to one of these extensions, a number of the biggest streamers on Twitch picked it up. Donald Trump\u2019s mugshot enters Twitch chats everywhere Mere hours after his mugshot was released, an emote of the shot with the background removed was uploaded to 7tv, one of many Twitch emote extension platforms. It\u2019s already been picked up by streamers like ohnePixel, Mande, NymN, fl0m and more and is usable in their chats. What\u2019s more, the emote\u2019s code being \u2018GotCaughtTrolling\u2019 pokes fun at the circumstances surrounding the mugshot, giving people a way to express that someone got caught doing something. And, though many are using the mugshot at Trump\u2019s expense, it\u2019s important to note that the legal proceedings are ongoing and that he hasn\u2019t been found guilty of any of the charges at the time of writing. The mugshot itself was uploaded to Donald Trump\u2019s Twitter account, leading to many people getting their hands on it and posting it wherever possible. Though the original uploader of the 7tv emote had to do some editing to get it to fit properly in Twitch chat, Trump\u2019s likeness translates surprisingly well into Twitch chat. The emote has been quickly picking up traction, shooting up the trending emotes. It\u2019s on track to be one of the most popular emotes within the extension.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
