#TrumpMugShot: Trump made comeback on X with his own mug shot; social media erupts in meme fest

Former President Donald Trump became the first US President, former or sitting, in the history of the country to have a mug shot taken. On August 24, he turned himself in to Georgia authorities after facing 13 felony charges by a Fulton County grand jury. His mugshot was taken while being booked at an Atlanta jail for allegedly trying to reverse the 2020 election results in Georgia.

Soon after his mug shot was released, it went viral on social media X (formerly Twitter), with over 25 thousand tweets. The #TrumpMugShot is still going strong on X. Even before Trump’s actual mug shot was released, people started creating his mug shot, starting a meme fest on X.

Trump, while addressing reporters after being arrested and released from jail, said: "I did nothing wrong," CNN reported.

The former US President described the criminal case against hima "travesty of justice"."We have every single right to challenge an election that we think is dishonest,"he said.

He also addressed the other criminal cases pending against him, saying, "This is one instance but you have three other instances. This is election interference."
