The founder offlounderingsocial metier siteTruth Social(oh , and , also , theformer President of the United States ) was hold into slammer in Fulton County , Georgia on Thursday Nox . Donald Trump , who facesRICO chargesand isaccused of attempting to overturnthe 2020 presidential election , is now officially a part of the carceral system .
The best part ? The mug shot , of course .
In the historic photo above ( to my noesis , no former President has ever suffered such an indignity ) , Trump does what he does best which is habituate his terrible magnetic energy to capture the world ’s attention and pivot every eyeball in his general direction . What is Trump ’s expression attempt to take here ? Is he like royalty pissed ? Is he putting on a brave typeface ? Does he require to go to the lavatory ? As ever , Trump remains somewhat sphinx - like — emanating unlike energy to different folks , so it ’s difficult to say really what the sentiment here truly is . He certainly does n’t look thrilled .

Anticipation for Trump ’s mug shot build yesterday , as the mugshots for his alleged co - conspirators circulated online , immediately drawing comparing tobatman villains . Yeah , the internet really hada expert time with it .
Still , it ’s strong to overstate the cultural and political shock that Trump ’s mugshot holds . How many memes will be born as a resultant of this one image ? How many T - shirt will be sell with Trump ’s enceinte orangish face — front like a constipated owl — imprinted on it ? And will Republicans or Democrats be the bigger target demographic for suppose T - shirt ? Furthermore , what broad array of merch will be engender ( there look to already be aRudy Guliani mugshot mugavailable on Etsy ) ? Will NFTs be involved ? And is it possible that — at some far flung appointment — trump card will give up a coxa record hop record album and use this picture as the cover ? Perhaps most importantly , how fleetly and efficiently will Republicans capitalize on this photo to agitate their floor and beam their rage - replete constituents fuming to the ballot boxes ? ( From the look of things onKari Lake ’s chirrup report , the answer is : passably crashing swiftly . )
last , there ’s much give-and-take to be had about how Trump ’s mugshot stacks up , historically , next to other famous mugshots . Like , is this photo closer in spirit toAl CaponeorNick Nolte?Lee Harvey OswaldorJames Brown ? Or does it have more of the overbold defiance of Lindsay Lohan’smany , many mugshot ?
In short : the digital event of the year is here , so have at it , internet .
