EXCLUSIVE — GOP Strategist: GA Mugshot Is Attempt to ‘Humiliate’ Trump, Scare Right ‘to Death’
Breitbart ^ | 30 Aug 2023 | JOSHUA KLEIN

Former President Donald J. Trump’s recent Fulton County mugshot is an attempt to humiliate the previous Commander-in-Chief, according to Republican strategist Adam Weiss, who suggested it also served to scare the right “to death” and deter any future “questioning” of election results.

In an exclusive interview with Breitbart News, Weiss addressed Trump’s famous mugshot taken last week, calling it an attempt by President Biden’s DOJ to “humiliate” the former president and accusing Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis of “always fundraising [and] figuring out any way possible to convict 19 people,” including by “throwing out all sorts of rights that we know as Americans.”

“The mugshot is kind of the final straw of what the Deep State, the judiciary and the prosecutor are going after to try and humiliate the former president,” he added.

The media and political strategist compared the current administration’s behavior to that of “third-world” countries and not that of the United States of America — where “we don’t go after former presidents for speaking out against what the Democrats always did, [with] Stacey Abrams [and] Hillary Clinton all railing against what they’ve perceived as stolen elections.”

Weiss noted the mug shot gives Trump “some street cred,” makes his base and Republicans “more livid,” and will “help him in fundraising, securing the nomination, and putting him in a better position now to secure the nomination than before.”

“More pounding on him is not going to take his supporters away, as much as they want,” he noted.

However, he suggested, our society has become so “polarized,” that it is challenging to know if the mugshot “really moves the needle either way.”

“I don’t think his hardcore supporters will support him any less,” he stated. “Left-wingers will reinforce what they’ve thought for 6-7 years about him,

If the mugshot does not scare conservatives to death, getting loaded onto the railroad cars might.

I had an argument with a liberal neighbor a couple years ago, after he started making insulting comments about President Trump. I told the jerk that Biden is a Hitler, and will ruin our country. The neighbor was shocked, and slunk away. Another patriot neighbor smiled at my comment (we both detest the lib). Everything I see going on today reinforces my thoughts that Biden is out to destroy us. He is not just a simpleton old fart, he is evil.

That mugshot was honestly the BEST thing that could have happened to Trump, it makes him look gangsta, he probably stood at the mirror and tried that pose over and over til it was just PERFECT..Trump is always two steps ahead

ALL 18 or so “mug” shots must have been done in a professional studio. Look again at Jenna Ellis smiling. I don’t think any of them were in the jail house long enough for these height-missing shots. That there is no height measurement violates mugshot protocol

It must be nice to get paid buckets of money to state the very obvious.
Nixon bad - LBJ ?
Reagan bad - Carter?
Bush bad - Clinton ?
Bush bad - Obama ?
Trump bad - Biden ?

You would think they could see a trend here.

What surprises me is the level of Arrogance, Entitlement, Smug Attitudes, and Over Inflated Egos of DEMOCRATS. Not just the politicians, though they do take it to insane levels, but the rank and file democrat too.

And on a daily basis they couple ALL that BRAVADO with a level of STUPIDITY that can’t be measured. They actually believe that a Mug Shot of Trump will scare people.

I hate to say this to Democrats and burst their little bubble, ALL that was accomplished with their kangaroo indictments and Mug Shot is to really really piss off a whole lot of people. Any chance of reconciliation with Democrats just got tossed out the window. Maybe for good this time.

Democrats need to take a closer look at Trump’s expression, HE DOESN’T LOOK SCARED.

Someone asked Megan Kelly what DeSantis has to do to improve his ratings. Megan said “Get indicted” :)

Funny

I would have thought it was her son’s wedding, and the photographer got a good shot of the groom’s mom.

It didn't work.

The name "Yankee" started out as a slur by English settlers against Dutch settlers in the American colonial days -- roughtly equivalent to "cheese eater" -- it's "John Cheese" in Dutch, pronounced "yahn keez". It soon became a mark of pride, as the Dutch went on to build Brooklyn and Manhattan.

Same is happening with the Trump mugshot, which has been meme heaven for days:

That's because truly smart people are often smart enough to recognize how vast is the ocean of knowledge, and that they only know part of it. It is humbling.

But Democrats usually think only of themselves, which is too limited to understand the vastness of Creation, scale, relativity or even ordinary math. They can't do even very simple statistical calculations, like how many existing and potential Bud Light customers are going to increase the sales of Bud after they see an emotionally ill cross-dresser in a bubble bath. Just one example.
