Trump May Have Just Pulled the All Time Greatest Troll With His Mugshot Move [WATCH]

A framed copy of The New York Post front page featuring President Donald Trump’s mugshot was seen hanging near the Oval Office during a news conference this week.

The mugshot, taken at the Fulton County Jail in Georgia on August 24, 2023, was widely circulated on front pages across the globe the following day.

The image was captured after Trump turned himself in following an indictment related to allegations of election interference in Georgia.

At the time, Trump told Fox News Digital that Georgia officials had “insisted” on taking his mugshot and described the experience as “not a comfortable feeling — especially when you’ve done nothing wrong.”

A photo of the framed front page was shared by Margo Martin, Trump’s special assistant and communications advisor, and quickly went viral on social media.

Dan Scavino, White House deputy chief of staff, later posted a video to X that showed the framed mugshot displayed prominently in the West Wing.

“HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY,” Scavino wrote. “WELCOME TO THE BEAUTIFUL OVAL OFFICE @WHITEHOUSE.”

The mugshot closely resembles Trump’s official White House portrait, which was unveiled in January.

OK, I know I’m late to the party on this, but as a photographer I want to comment on Donald Trump’s new official photo (below).

Three things jump out at me:

The charges in the Georgia case stem from allegations that Trump attempted to overturn the state’s 2020 election results.

The case remains unresolved as Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, who led the prosecution, is currently appealing a court ruling that disqualified her and her office from pursuing the case.

A new prosecutor has not yet been assigned to handle the case.

Several of Trump’s co-defendants in the case have accepted plea deals, including Scott Hall, Sidney Powell, Kenneth Chesebro, and Jenna Ellis.

At the time of the indictment, the Trump campaign called the case a “continued pathetic attempt by the Biden crime family and their weaponized Department of Justice.”

The display of Trump’s mugshot in the White House highlights how the image, once intended to damage him politically, has instead become a symbol of defiance among his supporters.

With legal battles ongoing, Trump continues to use the case as part of his broader campaign narrative heading into the 2024 election.
