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.

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

They will never capture the intensity of that look in plastic.
My first thought was Trump looked like Uncle Sam the patriot.
All he needed was a Top Hat.
It’s a good photo.
