#TrumpMugShot trended on X on Thursday as people waited for the official mug shot of Donald Trump to be released from his booking at the Fulton County Jail in Georgia on charges of attempting to overturn the 2020 election.
Trump has been indicted three times previously this year, but this is the first time he was forced to pose for a mug shot.
One entrepreneur had already starting hawking T-shirts on Etsy with the photo of Trump glaring into the camera. But those either sold out quickly or the sale was taken down, as the link to the page showed it as unavailable Thursday night.
The e-commerce site also offered mugs with the mug shot among dozens of other pro- and con-Trump merchandise for sale.
The former president’s expression was compared to doll-torturing villain Sid in “Toy Story,” while another person quipped, “He Maaaaaaadddd Mad!!!”
Katie Page of Indiana, no doubt referring to Trump’s orange-y makeup, tweeted. “POV When Willy Wonka just kicked you out of the chocolate factory.”
Another X user made a rough drawing of the already iconic photo.
When the real photo (as confirmed by CNN) was finally released, many doubted that it was the genuine article, “There have been so many fake mugshots of Trump I am unsure…is this it?,” tweeted @_iamblakely at 4:55 pm PDT.
