The first-ever image of Donald Trump captured at a police station showed a visibly angry demeanor, accompanied by a menacing gaze.
Trump’s most well-known picture was taken on Thursday night when he was arrested and sent to Fulton County Jail for charges related to interfering in the Georgia election.
The ex-president made a worried face and looked unhappy in the picture taken by the Fulton County Sheriff’s Office before 9pm. He had on a red tie, a white shirt and a dark blue suit.
Trump looked very different from the others in his group photo. A few of them grinned.
In simpler terms: Trump spoke on a runway after being detained at a Georgia jail, calling it an unfair miscarriage of justice.
He is the first president, either current or past, to have a photo taken after being arrested. He is also the first president to be accused of committing a crime. Trump is being investigated for meddling in the Georgia election, and he also has three other legal cases going on.
Trump went to Fulton County Jail in downtown Atlanta to be booked around 7. 30pm He quickly finished his work in Georgia and only stayed there for about an hour and a half before going back to his golf club in New Jersey.
The paper that had his booking information showed he was arrested and mentioned that he was very tall (6 foot 3 inches), weighed 215 pounds, and had blue eyes and either blonde or strawberry hair.
Trump’s friends took advantage of his mugshot.
Georgia Republican Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene wrote on X (formerly Twitter) that this photo will be the one to win the 2024 Presidential election. She stood outside the jail to show her support.
At the same time, Republican Senator Tommy Tuberville said he knew Trump’s expression in the mugshot.
“I have observed President Trump wearing that expression occasionally while playing golf with him. It happens when he fails to make a putt or when I am winning a game of golf against him,” he explained on Newsmax.
It is said that the picture of Trump with an angry face was intentionally arranged. According to CNN, before taking him to jail, his team talked to him about it. He made a deliberate choice to appear “defiant” and purposely decided not to smile.
He gave up because most of the people he was accused with had already turned themselves in. Fani Willis, who is the District Attorney of Fulton County, told all 19 people accused of crimes that they must turn themselves in before Friday at noon. If they don’t, she will issue arrest warrants for them.
On Thursday morning, Mark Meadows, who used to be his main assistant in the White House, gave up and showed up angry with a slight snarl on his face.
On Wednesday afternoon, Rudy Giuliani, who used to be Trump’s personal lawyer, turned himself in. He looked serious and resolute in his mugshot. When it was made public, Giuliani was very critical of Willis’ investigation and said that he had spoken to Trump earlier in the day.
Giuliani said, ‘I believe in him completely. ‘
Trump looked much angrier in his mugshot than when he got off the plane at the airport to go to jail. He showed a thumbs up and a small smile.
