Donald Trump has had his picture taken innumerable times over the decades, from his early days as a real estate magnate to his turn as a reality TV star and throughout his tumultuous four years in the White House.
But the mug shot released by Georgia authorities on Thursday, showing a scowling Trump just minutes after he was booked on more than a dozen felony counts at an Atlanta jail, may become the most famous of all, shared around the world by both detractors and supporters.
Trump , who is running for president in the 2024 election, had already made history as the first former U.S. president to face criminal charges – not once but four times.
Trump himself shared the photo on X, formerly Twitter.
This, however, was the first time he had to pose for a booking photo.
Unlike the other authorities, who gave him a pass, Georgia opted to process him like any other criminal defendant, including fingerprints and a mug shot, in a case stemming from Trump ‘s efforts to overturn his 2020 election loss in the state.
