Trump’s historic mug shot to become a bobblehead
The Hill ^ | 8/25/23 | Steff Danielle Thomas

Posted on 08/25/2023 3:28:38 PM PDT by Libloather

Former President Trump made history Thursday as the first president to have his mug shot taken - and it will soon be enshrined as a bobblehead.

A pre-sale for the special edition figures was announced Friday by the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum.

“The Trump bobblehead features the former president’s unsmiling, scowling mug shot on a base bearing his name,” the museum said in its press release. “Glaring into the camera, Trump’s brow is furrowed, his jaw clenched and his red tied knotted tightly.”

The release comes one day after Trump turned himself in at the Fulton County jail in Georgia over charges related to his alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 election results in the state. He and 18 co-defendants had until noon Friday to surrender to the jail.

The mug shots, including Trump’s, were released after each defendant was booked.

“They insisted on a mug shot, and I agreed to do that,” he told Fox Digital on Thursday. “This is the only time I’ve ever taken a mug shot.”

“It is not a comfortable feeling - especially when you’ve done nothing wrong,” he added.

Jumping on the hype, the museum appealed to those who wanted to commemorate the moment - on either side of the aisle.

**SNIP**

The special edition figurines cost $30 plus shipping and are expected to ship in January.

T-shirts, coffee mugs, AND a bobble-head! LOL! The left is going to be so, so, pi$$ed!

They have waited so long for this mug-shot. And now, all the glory in obtaining it is being taken away from them!

This is great!

Is his campaign making any money on these things?

The Hill.

They think this would be a negative?

It’s all they have I guess. They’ve got to be freaking out

12 million fox viewers. 230 million Tucker viewers

A lot of fake hits ok but that goes for both.

His mugshot is the stuff of Warhol: Instantly iconic Americana that will be reproduced and repurposed for decades to come.

First U.S. president to submit to a mugshot? Be careful what you wish for.

To laugh at this mugshot is to misunderstand it. Georgia has just crystallized Trump’s campaign message with a copyright-free image that will win him the nomination.

Fani Willis, Georgia’s district attorney, surely felt quite self-satisfied these past two weeks. We all saw her smug press conference announcing Trump’s indictment.

But the mugshot — wholly unnecessary, avoided in Trump’s three other indictments, meant to humiliate and degrade — has opened up a brand new revenue stream and re-energized Trump’s already fanatical base.

As has Fulton County’s explanation.

I would only purchase such an item through a well-researched Trump-supporting entity. I certainly would not want to fund ActBlue by inadvertently purchasing from a leftist organization who is trying to benefit from the destruction they have brought to our nation.
