Trump's mugshot has been released

It’s so adorable how he’s trying so hard to look tough, but manages to look like the scared little rodent he is.

Ok so I am not buying the tough guy act he is desperately trying to portray in the photo. Dude is a walking ice cream sandwich in a suit.

I didn't even realise he is trying to look tough. He looks anxious.
- Red eyes and make-up wiped off his nose like he’s been crying, and a sulky expression..
  Not at all tough. More like a young child who had a temper tantrum and is pouting.
I don't doubt that he is belligerent, I don't doubt that he is capable of murder. He is a rapist. If "dangerous" is considered tough, then I buy it. But tough is not the same as strong. There is no strength without empathy.
- Dangerous is not the same as tough. When toughness is necessary, then weakness is the dangerous trait.
I'm not sure that's what he's going for. He just looks unhappy to me, which seems very plausible. If he had half a brain, he'd do a Bill Gates and put on a careless smile in his mugshot.

I thought you were required to wash off makeup before a mugshot?

Does anyone know why he used a bail bond company? Seems weird. Does he really not have the $200,000?

The first thing you learn when you start gaining money is that it's always best to tie up someone else's money. Most people learn this first with credit cards.
@MadMenace @EggInQuestion He might not be liquid. Or he might just be broke. Or he's just a cheap bastard. Any or all of the above.
What? What are you talking about? That's not how bail works. He doesn't need 200k.
The amount of your bail is the amount you owe if you don't appear in court, not the amount of the deposit, i.e. the amount of cash you need on hand. That's 10% of the total. If you have a 200k bail amount, you need 20 grand on hand, not 200 grand.
- Hmm, that's not how they work in my state. You either pay 100% of the bail yourself, or you pay 10% to a bondsman and they cover the other 90%.
- Doesn't this make her point even more? Had to use a bondsman for 20k but he's super rich? Yiiikes

Someone on Mastodon pointed out how he looks like Vigo the Carpathian in his mug shot, and I can’t stop laughing.

Is this real? I haven't kept up with the news but if so this is fucking great.

It's real
- Fan-fucking-tastic. Too bad that fucking weasel was gone an hour and a half later. But at least it happened I guess.

This pose was specifically intended for tee shirts, banners, and protests. There's going to be a lot of money made off this picture.

Alright, so I can refer to ex-president Trump as Inmate #P01135809 for the duration of the trial.

Well I hope Inmate #P01135809 gets a fair trial and the justice he deserves.

Ah yes, the Kubrick Stare. A staple of the villainously deranged.

Beat me to it :). His weight and height should be out soon if anyone wants to make bets.

Oompa loompa doopity doo

This photo has become its own Rorschach test

Seriously, could they not get a shorter cameraman, or lower the tripod? A lot of these pics are taken at this angle.

The twat is posing. Why was he not made to stand straight and not pull a face like he's on a wannabe supervillan dating site?

Giving off some serious 1930’s mob boss vibes with this one.

Looks like he's been crying.

It looks like an image generated by stable diffusion.

Apparently there were several unsuccessful attempts .
\ (German only, but hopefully still a little bit funny.)

Let's reflect that this turd inherited 400 million dollars, and he couldn't find happiness. Just misery.

Yes, it's really Trump, and yes, he does look like himself.
Nope, the Nazis actually replaced him with an evil genetically engineered clone back in 2014. The REAL Trump is going to return in 2033 backed by an army of angels who will come bearing gifts of clean coal and frozen peaches.

He's absolutely serving
