Trump for President 2024, which is selling merchandise bearing his mugshot. For most people, a police mug shot would be a badge of dishonor they would do anything to erase. For Donald Trump, it's a branding opportunity and political weapon. The scowling, vengeful stare captured at a Georgia jail on August 24, 2023, after Trump was booked on racketeering and conspiracy charges has quickly become his 2024 campaign symbol. T-shirts, mugs, stickers and beverage coolers bearing the first mug shot of a serving or former US president were put out by his team within hours of the photo's release.
