Less than two hours after Trump was booked, his joint fundraising committee began selling a shirt and other merchandise with his mug shot, captioned, "Never surrender."

Not two hours after former President Donald Trump left the Fulton County, Georgia, jail, his joint fundraising committee was already selling merchandise featuring his booking photo.

The former president left the Fulton County Jail at 7:55 p.m. Thursday, and for the first time in his four indictments on felony charges, authorities took — and released — Trump’s mug shot. By 9:22 p.m., the Trump Save America Joint Fundraising Committee was selling T-shirts, mugs, beverage coolers, bumper stickers and other merchandise with Trump’s face and the words “never surrender.”

    This is the best summary I could come up with:

    Not two hours after former President Donald Trump left the Fulton County, Georgia, jail, his joint fundraising committee was already selling merchandise featuring his booking photo.

    The former president left the Fulton County Jail at 7:55 p.m. Thursday, and for the first time in his four indictments on felony charges, authorities took — and released — Trump’s mug shot.

    In a fundraising email, Trump said he “walked into the lion’s den with one simple message on behalf of our entire movement: I WILL NEVER SURRENDER OUR MISSION TO SAVE AMERICA.”

    Ultimately, the former president wanted to look “defiant” in the face of charges that he thinks are politically motivated, CBS News has been told.

    Before he boarded his plane back to New Jersey, Trump told reporters that he and his co-defendants “did nothing wrong,” calling it “a very sad day for America.”

    Trump’s co-defendants include former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani; his former chief of staff, Mark Meadows; and attorneys Sidney Powell and Jenna Ellis.

    u/Rocketpoweredgorilla@lemmy.ca said this was the expression their little kids had when were told “no”. Fits, since Trump is such a 2yr old.

    Never surrender! (Surrendered)

    Jokes asides…. The only reason he did it was for profit. The money he will make from this shitshow will dwarf what he paid for bail, if he even pays any of it back.

    What a fucking loser.

    Trump is really taking “mug shot” to a whole new level with his campaign merchandise. I guess if you can’t beat 'em, you might as well meme 'em! I can already picture the tagline: “Never Surrender, Unless It’s to a Great Hair Day.” Who knew politics could be such a fashion statement?
