his campaign is already selling t-shirts with the photo on the front and the words “NEVER SURRENDER!” on the back

Didn't he literally surrender in order to have this mugshot taken?

Could be the most ironic hipster shirt ever made.

You can say what you want about his followers, but intelligence was never among their strong points.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It would be a very funny shirt if some people were smart enough to not think you agree with them while wearing it.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The real money maker is selling a very similar shirt that says "surrendered" on the mug.

Trumpcriticizestrump coming from trump himself. Well he isn't known for being smart or capable.

[–] [email protected] 51 points 1 year ago (5 children)

Apparently he's already selling t-shirts with this picture on it. Never a missed opportunity.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What?! You mean he already gave up on NFTs?

Orange isn't in style anymore.

Grifters gonna grift. Since donnie is a fan of Adolf's, he probably knows that he did a stint in prison too.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

Reminds me of 'Colonel' Tom Parker selling anti Elvis merch to the protesters outside the concerts.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

You’d be an idiot not to. That was the very first thing I thought of.

Perfect headline. Donnie surrenders and mugshot is released.

Just perfect. Now if they could have just slapped cuffs on him and put him in prison until his trial...

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (2 children)

A better headline would mention he's a one term president. I always love when I see "one term president" instead of "former president" like you usually see. Maybe also throw in how few one term presidents there have been for extra spice.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I do like when they mention how many times he's been indicted, too.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Let's hope this doesn't age like milk like Obama's "at least I was president" joke/comment did

Ngl I was ~~expecting~~ hoping for worse

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Do they not do the height measure backdrop and the name placard anymore?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I actually think it's a good shot, he looks defiant. I very much think he is a terrible human, though

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago

Never forget, that the religious right thinks that this is the anti-Christ while this is their savoir

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago

Why does this look like bad AI?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago

get fucked shit troll

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago (2 children)

That’s hilarious, he extended his neck forward to gain a jawline as if he were in a photo op.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The dude has been in front of a camera for most of his life. I guarantee he practiced this look and studied the lighting and angle of the other 8-9 people's mugshots he saw. He knew the best angle.

I'm sure his big quandary was whether to smile or not.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

More like the people taking the shot are Trumpers.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

I would not be surprised if he worked with someone to come up with the perfect shot. Some photographer, or stylist or whatever, and then he didn't pay them

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

That pic shows his true face, his real, unvarnished contempt for the law.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Trying to summon his Dark Brandon?

He's not smiling.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

Wow, that face expression is as evil as it can get. I bet he thinks: ”You’ll all be diggin’ in my coal mines when I win the next election…”.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Hold those tears back Donnie your a big boy now.
