CNN Panics That Trump's 'Mugshot' Would Make Him Even More Iconic and Popular
Townhall ^ | 4/2/2023 | Sarah Arnold

Democrat’s plan of destroying former President Trump is backfiring, causing the liberal media to panic that Trump’s indictment could make him a stronger candidate in the 2024 election.

CNN is urging the Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg to refrain from releasing Trump’s mugshot to the public, in fear it may make him more famous than he already is.

Liberal guest David Axelrod said that Trump would turn his mugshot photo into iconic novelty items, boosting his chances of taking the crown away from Democrats in 2024.

“One thing I want to say about how he [Trump] is handled on Tuesday if I were the DA, if I were to advise him, and I’m not a lawyer, I’m a political strategist, but I would give him every courtesy that I could. I would certainly not handcuff him. I think he would love that picture,” Axelrod said. “I would make very sure that that booking photo is not released. He would turn it into t-shirts and turn himself into Che Guevara there as an iconic image.”

Axelrod claimed Tuesday’s reported surrender of Trump would turn him into a spectacle that will play out into the former president’s political strategy.

Presidential historian Douglas Brinkley also claimed that Trump’s mugshot would be a historical artifact as iconic as the wanted poster of Abraham Lincoln assassin John Wilkes Booth.

“Now we’re set up to see the biggest reality show that’s come to life … I can’t even think of an artifact except maybe ‘Wanted: John Wilkes Booth’ after the Lincoln assassination of a wanted poster or a mug shot that’s going to be circulating around the world in a kind of way this one of Donald Trump is,” Brinkley said during an appearance on CNN.

I was just getting ready to mention that. Tom Delay’s mugshot was so good it could have been a campaign photo pic.

Anyone think there’s even a remote possibility that Biden will run again? I’d like to think so, and I’m sure Trump supporters hope so, but I can’t believe Dems are that stupid.

I disagree. I think the dimocrats honestly can’t see what it will do. They have absolutley NO emotional control and let their emotions guide their actions.

As they’ve said before, no one is above the law, and if they can some how justify applying that to Trump, I think they might actually try to cuff him when he arrives, despite the agreement. They’re like Smeagle with “his precious” and Trump is the dimocrat’s “precious”.

Those dimocrats is tricksy.

That mugshot on a tee shirt with his quote, "They're not after me, they're after you and I'm just in the way."

Sell a million.

Can we pre-order them now?

cyclotic responds:

I like your thinking. $50 a copy, $200 autographed. $10,000 in a gold plated frame

HamiltonJay also responds:

Funny weren’t these people all about the “Maverick” when the “maverick” was a RINO...
A real MAVERICK and its the end of the world.

Sour and dour folks snarled in derision at the Collect Trump Cards site. Too busy being offended, they must not have seen the image names.

There's the Trump "PMS" (Pete Mitchell Suit) card, and of course the very first one, "White Hat"-- the Marshal in the long white coat. Great badge. Nice touch!

In answer to “Aren’t mug shots public access?” We don’t know.

IF in Trump’s booking they decide not to take a mug shot of him, how about one of our folks getting a real BEAUT of a picture and then as Alan Dershowitz says copyright it. Maybe even have Trump smiling.

In spite of my posts here, I’m not into political bric-a-brak, but I might get one of those mug shots. Maybe they’ll offer caps with the mug shot.

I think they would prefer a midnight arrest and a quick trip to a gulag.

I think that’s why he got out in front of it right away, posting on Truth Social starting a couple of weeks ago that he knew they were going to do this.

“I didn’t make the meme”

They won’t just go after those who created the meme...they will destroy anybody who re-posts it! If you are lucky, you’ll get a 10 year reduced sentence for re-posting instead of 20 years for creating it. And it’ll be 5 years for even thinking about posting it anywhere.

I can’t wait to order mine and wear it. Those who would criticize me, I would say, “Well, isn’t that mug shot what you wanted?”

He should wear suspenders so he can hook his thumbs in them, tilt his head back and give a big country smile.
