Behold, Trump's mugshot is here
He's scowling. His iconic hairdo is well-coiffed. And he's under arrest. Former President Donald Trump actually had his mugshot taken and, of course, it is already all over the internet. '

Trump has been indicted four times now, but the mugshot came from the case in Georgia where he is accused of attempting to overturn the state's results in the 2020 presidential election. Other officials involved with the other cases declined to put the Republican frontrunner through the typical rigamarole people face when arrested — e.g. have their mugshot taken.
Fulton County Sheriff Pat Labat said in the lead-up to Trump turning himself that the president would be afforded no such special privileges this go round.

"Unless someone tells me differently, we are following our normal practices," Labat said, via NPR. "And so it doesn't matter your status. We'll have mug shots ready for you."
Still, when Trump turned himself in on Thursday it was unclear if the mugshot would actually happen. People of all political persuasions awaited it eagerly, so much so that it was trending on X (FKA Twitter). Now that it's here, it feels like a safe bet it'll grace merch for both haters and supporters of Trump.
