Trump revealed his iconic mugshot in style, combining the revelation with a shocking tweet that read the words “Never Surrender.” With Democrats hoping it would be the end of his political career, Trump and his marketing made it the complete opposite.
“NEVER SURRENDER”
Former President Donald Trump’s unforgettable mugshot has ignited a frenzy of entrepreneurial ventures capitalizing on the image’s viral fame.
From independent creators to Trump’s campaign website, everyone wants a piece of the action, with a range of products featuring the former president’s stern face.
Trump’s official website is leading the charge, offering an array of merchandise, including T-shirts, beverage coolers, mugs, and bumper stickers, all decorated with the now-iconic photo captioned ‘NEVER SURRENDER.’
Trump Merch in High Demand
Etsy sellers have also jumped on the bandwagon, crafting their own pro-Trump and anti-Trump merchandise, capturing various facets of public opinion.
Among the offerings are shirts that simply label Trump a ‘LEGEND’ while some humorously poke fun at his facial expression, blaming it on the lack of coffee.
Donald Trump made history as the first former president to pose for a mugshot following his arrest related to his attempts to overturn the 2020 election results in Georgia.
Hashtags Galore
The image’s swift proliferation across various social media platforms has ignited a wave of reactions and discussions, prompting a range of hashtags like #TrumpMugshot and #OrangeIsTheNewOrange.
Users across the political spectrum offered humorous takes on the mugshot, with some poking fun at Trump’s distinctive hairstyle and others speculating about his hypothetical ‘prison wardrobe.’
Some users noticed that Trump’s weight was listed at 215 pounds, a figure that had been pre-reported, with some in disbelief at the revelation.
Playful Interpretations
Instagram and TikTok witnessed an inundation of short videos and image-based memes, with Trump’s face playfully inserted into famous movie scenes set behind bars.
The memes ranged from lighthearted humor to biting political satire, eliciting a range of reactions and engagement from online audiences.
Some politicians like Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene rallied behind Trump, using the mugshot as a political rallying cry, accusing the DA of political motives.
Fake Mugshots
Even before the official photo was released, fake Trump mugshots had already gone viral, adding to the anticipation surrounding the image.
Trump was arrested for the fourth time this year and went through the booking process, which included having his height and weight recorded and receiving a prisoner identification number.
After spending less than 20 minutes inside the Fulton County jail, Trump was released on bail, leaving behind a historic booking photo that will be remembered for years to come.
