Donald Trump arrested for fourth time
Donald Trump is already attempting to cash in on his historic mug shot by urging supporters to fork out $34 for a t-shirt featuring his booking photo and the slogan “never surrender” — despite having just surrendered to authorities.
Less than two hours after his arrest on Thursday, the Trump campaign sent out an email plugging the new merchandise.
Mr Trump was booked and released from the Fulton County Jail in Atlanta, Georgia after surrendering on 13 charges of attempting to overturn the 2020 presidential election in Georgia.
His booking record listed the former president as 6’3” and 215 pounds – raising eyebrows across social media. The stats provoked a comment from adult film star, Stormy Daniels, whose alleged affair with Mr Trump has him facing multiple charges in New York over falsifying business records linked to alleged hush money payments ahead of the 2016 election.
In the Atlanta case, the last two co-defendants of the 18 charged alongside the former president, Trevian Kutti and Stephen Lee, turned themselves in on Friday morning, just an hour before the deadline imposed by District Attorney Fani Willis.

Hours after he surrendered in Georgia, Trump began selling ‘Never Surrender’ t-shirts with his mug shot
Predictably, almost as soon as the scowling mug shot was released, the former president’s re-election campaign began using it to try to fundraise for his 2024 presidential run.
Less than 90 minutes in from his release from the Atlanta jail, the campaign sent an email to supporters saying it would give away a “free” premium cotton t-shirt featuring the historic booking photo – in exchange for a $47 donation.

Trump joins a notorious album of (alleged) criminals
Donald Trump has become the latest addition – and the first United States president – to join that infamous cadre of the police-portraited arrested. The ever-publicity-conscious former reality TV star has already acknowledged the iconic status of any possible picture, trying to cash in on the prospect by releasing a fake one on a t-shirt (for $47 as a re-election campaign “donation”) back in April. But any real picture had yet to materialise – until today.

Big trouble for Trump in new poll after charges in Georgia case
That’s among the results of a new poll from Politico Magazine and Ipsos which has revealed that the American people are taking the cases against Mr Trump seriously, with the survey revealing the electorate’s particular focus on the 2020 election subversion proscution brought by the Department of Justice.
The poll also shows that most Americans remain sceptical of Mr Trump’s arguments that the cases against him have no merit and that they’re part of a politically motivated witch hunt and a weaponization of the justice system.
