I’ve been waiting for this day for so long, seeing this wannabe dictator commit crime after crime with no consequences and hearing so many people saying this would never happen, but here we are. Cheers my American neighbors! This is a good day for democracy!
I agree, but also a tragic day. This does nothing to reduce the polarization or convince his misguided followers of anything. Trump might go away but his voters won’t. We have decades of this to look forward to. It’s a step in the right direction at least…
I wholeheartedly disagree that it’s a tragic day. The tragedies happened when he committed his crimes and got away with them for years. This is just the beginning of resolution.
Exactly right. Saying this mugshot is a tragedy is like saying it’s a tragedy when somebody with cancer finally qualifies for the surgery to remove the tumor.
I am going to disagree with you here. This is a long process. This teachers our kids about consequence. There is a lot more gears spinning than just punishing the big Cheeto.
Oh well, if he was allowed to get off without any consequences, it would be far, far worse.
It may be dark going forward, but we need to savor every bit of victory we can get like cold water on a searing summer day.
The alternative is worse.
The consequences of national polarization may, in the long term, make Trump’s actions look small.
This arrest certainly pushes us closer to the edge. Whether that will lead us back to normalcy or over and down is yet to be seen.
And it would be better for national unity if one party was allowed to get away with committing crimes without facing consequences?
I’ve been thinking lately that if Nixon hadn’t been pardoned, we never would have been here today.
But that’s not the point. Him getting away with it or not, is one thing. The people standing in front of the Jail since 10 am, waiting for him to show up. Eager and sincerely wanting to show him their support. Firm in their belief that he cares or needs the support.
Half of the nation really wants someone like him to be president.
And they stand even stronger by his side, after these last weeks.
This is the tragic message and important lesson from this.
We keep saying “half of the nation” but he’s never won a popular vote. It’s a cognitive distortion
Half of the nation really wants someone like him to be president.
Not even half of likely voters.
Isn’t this like the 3rd mug shot over the past few months, or did we not get to see those? I’ve lost track.
Those places forwent the mugshot. Georgia stated they would treat him as any other defendant, so this is his first.
I’d forgotten about “forwent,” I’m going to have to keep it in my mental cheek pouches for crosswords and other word games.
“Mental cheek pouches” is a genius term. Stolen.
Stolen
You mean stashed in your mental cheek pouches.
In hindsight, that should have been obvious from today’s uproar.
To be fair, the mugshot is for identification and it’s not like you need a photo of the Cheeto to identify him. What I want is a prison ID photo after being hosted down and de-loused (I know that’s just a movie trope, but I still want it)
The delousing is real. No hose-down though. They do make you scrub up in ice cold shower water though.
Delousing in jails is not just a movie trope.
Hosing down? Got me there.
The other ones didn’t take mugshots
I agree, but is this a consequence tho
That’s what op is saying.
how long did he study this expression in front of the mirror, i wonder
He should of worked on it more, it’s no Blue Steel
Orange Smudge
Should have*
. You’re right. Reminded me of this. No malious, just laughsmalice*
I know when I’m beet. In my defense, English is my first language.

Eww 🤢
He somehow managed to make himself look even more like a dipshit than usual.
To catch the dipshits, you have to think like a dipshit. This is exactly what every one of his voters would look like in a mug shot. Even the ones that have never been booked are voluntarily showing that to the world today.
Yeah it’d be unbelievable as a story. Sometimes truth is definitely stranger than fiction.
It’s 100% a toddler version of angry face. I’ve seen it many times but only from toddlers or as a joke.
“I’m not gonna poop I’m not gonna poop I’m not gonnapoop I’m notgonnapoop I’mnotgonnapooooooop….”
See I’m getting more of a “why the fuck can’t I poop” vibe from it. Anger and rage and pain
He must have based it off that Goebbels picture when he realized the photographer was Jewish
Not sure but I’ve seen it before.
Edit: here
these look like he has difficulty seeing: now where is the camera
Merde oui
La meilleure pic de 2023.
Better than putin on time magazine
If you really think about it, he has never looked away from the image of himself in the mirror.
indeed
thanks for the reminder
Study?! Has he ever?
I call this one, Red Rain
Red Rain
He’s trying so hard to hide his neckgina
You know it’s bad when you’re using your combover to block your neckgina.
His head got stuck in the sous vide
It does look weirdly practised. Do you think he asked them to see it before he left? Or asked them to retake it.
Is that what he’s doing?? I was trying to figure out what’s going on in this pose lmao.
Using those MySpace angles
You can bet he spent time practicing that pose in front of a mirror at Mar-a-Lago beforehand. That’s supposed to be his ‘If you fuck with me, I’ll fuck with you ‘ look, but it’s more like ‘mommy, I think I did doo doos’.
Guliani made an almost identical pose. Maybe they worked on it together after a smush sesh.
Things I never thought I would say, but: where is the guliani picture?
Here ya go. They seem to be updating as the images are released as well.
Two of these idiots are smiling. Who smiles after being booked?
Idk about Shafer, but maybe Ellis is smiling because she’s only got 2 counts, not 13.
Her face says “I’ll turn for a plea deal.”
People trying to show fellow sociopaths how tough they are in the face of consequences.
Unfortunately, it’s almost impossible to hide the characteristics of a coward hiding behind a facade.
Get out of here I’m trying to take a shit! And find me some laxatives!
What is it with all these mug shots having a similar scowl going on?
And looking like they were photographed with a webcam from 2004?
How do you afford quality cameras when your budget goes to militarization of the force?
Have you ever been booked? It’s because it is almost certainly a webcam and a very old one at that.
Can confirm
Sadly can also confirm
This guy jails
Been the jailed never the jailer.
Nuh uh! Mine was at least taken with a webcam from 2010
He’s trying to look defiant and outraged. Guy knows how to work his marks. I guarantee you every Republican looking at that photo is getting a massive boner over it.
massive boner
or a little chubby.
Ha, fair. I was using the term “massive” in a relative sense.
compared to his hands?
Yeah, but even Giuliani is making the same scowl, and that guys a total dope.
Sad but true
Sad!
The tee shirts are probably rolling off the press minutes after the photo was released.
Police officers and cameras don’t seem to get along very well.
Cops are the only photographers in the world better at setting up the lighting for black people.
Camera angle… The camera looks like it’s set up high, so arrestees have to tilt their heads up when getting their mugshots. Tends to give people a Kubrick Stare.
Certainly odd camera angle, plus bad lighting and maybe an atypical focal length (for what the avg person is used to seeing)?
Here’s hoping this is the last time in my life I have to gaze upon this grotesque misshapen oompa loompa.
His appearance is irrelevant. There’s plenty of us ugly guys here. But not everyone is such a jerk.
Oh I agree wholeheartedly. But every time I see his ghoulish rictus of a face it reminds me that for four miserable years the democratically elected* leader of the largest economy in the world was a philandering child rapist. One who is only now facing the slightest possibility of consequence for a tiny fraction of his crimes because he engaged in honest to god high treason. Nothing against ugly dudes. You’re cool.
*kind of
A cautionary tale of when the ugliness unside morphs the flesh into a lumpy miscolored mass of dangling skin
Bro, thats offensive. The oompa loompas look way better.
True enough. Say what you will about the 'loompas, they lift.
On a side note politicians love these comments as they joke about it too at rallies and increases support.
Makes me wonder what politicians can into jokes of culture popularized the people who died as a result of their actions.
And had I not made the comment it would have been the work of minutes for someone to generate a thousand like it to drum up support.
Let’s not pretend anonymous internet comments have any actual bearing here. I’m just having fun coming up with new terms for this festering troglodyte.
That fine, but I just want to see how a politician turns a history of suffering into jokes at a rally. Oddly enough I think Trump could do it and his congregation would eat it up.
Trump had agreed to a $200,000 bond and other release conditions, including not using social media to intimidate co-defendants or witnesses in the case.
Just gotta point this thing out. Seems soft to me idk. Maybe they just want to give him more rope to see how much he will hang himself with it this time, but really a ban from all social media would make the most sense considering how much harm his posts on there have caused.
To me it seems like the trump team had them retake te photo several times. It’s off center, it’s a non standard angle, and they’re letting him make a face unseen in most mug shots.
Yes and if you look at the other mugshots in the series, most have a big glare spot. Trump almost certainly got photo privileges
I honestly think the glare is on Trump’s “hair,” it hangs over quite a bit too blocking light and he’s got so much fake tan/makeup on that it doesn’t reflect as much light as everyone else who didn’t pretty up their faces for a mug shot lol
Why are mugshot photos so shit quality? It’s like they are taking them on a webcam from 2003? That one is so hilariously blown out that it’s like you’re looking at a solar flare instead of a human.
It probably is a webcam from 2003.
We don’t have any money! After we pay for the automatic rifles, the grenades, the body armour, the armoured vehicles and the fuel for the tank there really isn’t $100 left to go to Best Buy and get a new camera.
Lol I agree but not sure if you responded to the wrong message? I’m talking about the restrictions the court put on him.
lol it was so jarring reading your comment and then theirs
My bad two totally clicked the wrong button lol
I’m starting to default to think they’re playing the rope angle really hard. He absolutely will not be able to conform to those terms. Though they should not have limited it to “social media”, he has access to all the communication channels the world has to offer to put a hit out.

Finally a real picture
Is it just me or…
Launch him!
“Ahhhhhhh, hing ahhh!”
He’s still wearing the same suit with the red tie? The man’s like Bart Simpson.
Is that his f*cking blue steel look? Wonder how long he spent practicing that expression in the mirror this week.
blue steel
Orange Lead
blue steel
Orange Lead
orange peel
Okay yours is better.

I wonder how long he sat in front of the mirror and practiced that.
You got this, Donald… make 'em wait for it… BOOM
And apparently he’s listed as 6’3" weighing 215 lbs. That is not the face of a 215 lb person over 6 feet.
Edit:
STOP THE COUNT
He is 5’6 if we’re been generous. Just look at pictures of him at the podium and compare them to pictures of other presidents. No way he is 6 foot.
The correctional officer saying to Trump in his cell: “Who are you going to call?”
