Former President Donald Trump was booked at Fulton County Jail in Georgia for an election interference case. Shortly after his release from the jail, his joint fundraising committee wasted no time in capitalizing on the situation. Within hours, they began selling merchandise featuring his booking photo. This marked the first time that authorities had taken and released Trump’s mug shot in relation to his four felony indictments. By 9:22 p.m., the Trump Save America Joint Fundraising Committee had already started offering T-shirts, mugs, beverage coolers, bumper stickers, and other products adorned with Trump’s face and the words “never surrender.” The prices for these items ranged from $12 for a bumper sticker to $36 for a long-sleeve T-shirt.
Trump is also using his recent arrest as an opportunity to raise funds. In a fundraising email, he emphasized his refusal to give up on his mission to save America. Trump identifies his time in jail as him entering the “lion’s den” and sees it as a testament to his dedication to his supporters. He believes that the authorities are targeting him because he is fighting for them. In Georgia, Trump is facing charges of racketeering, election fraud, and other offenses, along with 18 co-defendants. Most of these co-defendants have already turned themselves in, with one remaining at large. Notable figures among 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.
Trump took to the social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, to share his booking photo before boarding his plane back to New Jersey. He expressed his belief that he and his co-defendants did nothing wrong and described it as a sad day for America. Despite the indictments, Trump remains steadfast in his mission and continues to rally his supporters.
