Ex-President Donald Trump's mugshot made its debut on Thursday night, and it certainly didn't disappoint. The intense expression on his face - furrowed eyebrows and a frown - was markedly different from the smiles of his 18 co-defendants.
Trump's first-ever mugshot was taken by the Fulton County Sheriff's Office while he was being booked into the Fulton County Jail for charges related to the Georgia election interference case. It was confirmed that he is 6 foot 3 inches tall, 215 pounds, with blue eyes and 'blonde or strawberry' hair.
The entire process was quite speedy, as Trump spent only about an hour-and-a-half on the ground in Georgia before heading back to his Bedminster Golf Club in New Jersey.
After arriving in Atlanta and before he was booked, Trump addressed the media and gave a thumbs up and even a slight smile. However, after his mugshot was taken, his expression had become much harsher. Trump's team had reportedly discussed the mugshot with him before taking him to the jail, and he had decided to look 'defiant' and intentionally chose not to smile.
Trump's mugshot was quickly capitalized on by his allies. Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene was outside the jail in support and tweeted the mugshot, saying, "This is the photo that will win the 2024 Presidential election." Meanwhile, Republican Senator Tommy Tuberville said he recognized Trump's expression in the mugshot and recalled seeing it before, when they were playing golf together.
Trump faces not only the Georgia election interference probe, but three other cases against him. His co-defendants Mark Meadows and Rudy Giuliani had already surrendered and appeared stern in their mugshots. Upon release, Giuliani slammed the probe and expressed his trust in Trump.
It remains to be seen if Trump's intense mugshot will succeed in winning over the American people in the 2024 Presidential election.
