Donald Trump<\/strong><\/a>\u2019s election, time in office, and post-presidential tenure saw and continue to see many historic firsts. The first time a presidential candidate bragged that he could shoot someone<\/a> on a major Manhattan thoroughfare and not lose any votes. The first time a president suggested his constituents inject household cleaner<\/a>. And, as of today, the first time a former US president was forced to pose for a mug shot.<\/p>\n Here it is: the Donald Trump mug shot.<\/p>\n This content can also be viewed on the site it originates<\/a> from.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Trump had his mug photographed after surrendering<\/a> to the Fulton County district attorney\u2019s office on 13 felony counts<\/a> for trying to overturn the 2020 election in Georgia. While this is the fourth time the ex-president has surrendered on criminal charges since April, it is the first time he\u2019s had his mug shot taken. Earlier this month, before Georgia prosecutor Fani Willis<\/strong> charged Trump, Fulton County sheriff Pat Labat<\/strong>\u00a0told<\/a> a reporter, \u201cUnless somebody tells me differently, we are following our normal practices, and so it doesn\u2019t matter your status, we\u2019ll have a mug shot ready for you.\u201d (His height and weight were also recorded: He apparently reported six-foot-three and 215 pounds, if you’re wondering).<\/p>\n While most people probably wouldn\u2019t want such an image to be made public, Trump is presumably not too broken up about it, given that he has used his indictments in multiple fundraising<\/a> emails<\/a>, including when he was charged by the Manhattan district attorney\u2019s office this past spring. At the time, Trump was reportedly<\/a> \u201coffered a chance to surrender quietly and be arraigned over Zoom,\u201d but instead \u201copted for a midday, high-profile booking at the Manhattan courthouse.\u201d\u00a0As one law enforcement official told Rolling Stone<\/em> at the time: \u201cHe wanted a perp walk, he wanted daylight hours. He wants to get out of the vehicle and walk up the stairs.\u201d Not to mention that in the Georgia case, as the Guardian<\/em> reported<\/a> on Tuesday, Trump \u201chad his lawyers negotiate the booking to take place during the prime viewing hours for the cable news networks.\u201d<\/p>\n The ex-president has raised millions<\/a> off of his legal woes, and given that that appears to be a point of pride<\/a> for the campaign, there\u2019s probably a nonzero chance supporters will soon be able to purchase T-shirts, hats, lawn signs, and other merch featuring the photo taken today.<\/p>\n Trump and his 18 accused coconspirators have all insisted they did nothing wrong. Throughout the week, many of Trump’s codefendants, including Mark Meadows<\/strong>, John Eastman, Rudy Giuliani, Jenna Ellis,<\/strong> and Sidney Powell<\/strong> have surrendered<\/a> and had their mug shots taken and released. Trump\u2019s bond was set at $200,000<\/a>, and included stipulations that the former president would not to threaten witnesses, his codefendants, and unindicted coconspirators, including on social media.<\/p>\n<\/div>\nTwitter content<\/h4>\n
