Trump mugshot merch
Former United States Donald Trump was formally arrested on Thursday (August 24) on racketeering and conspiracy charges in relation to his effort to overturn the 2020 election in the state of Georgia and while he has repeatedly maintained his innocence and decried a “travesty of justice,” his campaign has other priorities.
Shortly after Trump’s historic mug shot was released to the public, his 2024 presidential campaign site released a line of merchandise featuring his booking photo.
