Well, it will be the most trafficked photo in the history of planet Earth because social media is so ubiquitous.

President Donald J. Trump yesterday, he went to the Fulton County Jail House where he was arrested,

was fingerprinted, they took his picture.

The mugshot is now out. It's destined to be

the most famous mugshot, certainly in the history of humanity. I will say that it is a win for

Trump to have his mugshot taken. I know it was supposed to be some sort of big win for the left.

They finally got him. They find the frog marching in the hand. So here's the thing about Trump and

imagistics. Trump is a meme. He is a walking, living, breathing meme. Everything he does is

memeable. He is made for TV. He is made for the internet. He's changed our age because of that.

And so Donald Trump also happens to be a person who's been consistently on camera since the time he was about 20 years old. He is currently almost 80. So 60 long years of being in the public eye and of having your picture took means that dude knows how to take a picture. And the mugshot of Trump, again, it is such a big, I have to say, it's just a giant, immogistic win for him. Because we know that he was going to be arrested. It's not as though no one knew he was arrested. It's not as though it was a shock dawning on the American people that Donald Trump is under indictment in four separate jurisdictions. We've known about all of this for months. What the mugshot does, especially this particular mugshot, is it gives Trump the appearance of somebody who is bravely standing up to forces that are going after him.

And again, his image here actually conveys all of that because Donald Trump is phenomenal

on camera. And whatever else you can say about the guy, the dude was a TV star for decades.

And I promise you, he knows what he looks like on camera. There is zero chance that before he did this mugshot, he didn't sit with his team and say, okay, what expression should I use in the mugshot since it's going to be the most traffic photo of me ever? What expression should I use? Because this is a pitch perfect thing. I mean, just from a theatrical perspective, the mugshot of Donald Trump for Trump's purposes is pitch perfect. He doesn't look

as though he's afraid or concerned or anxious. He doesn't even look, I would say, angry. He looks

determined, right? I mean, that is the goal here, is to look as though he is the face of doom

coming for his enemies. And that's what it looks like. I mean, if you flash that back up there, that is exactly what Donald Trump looks like in this mugshot. And this is what he is going to convey for the rest of the campaign, is I'm coming for my enemies and your enemies are my enemies. That is, there's a reason why he's already trotting it out on the mugs. There's a reason why he's already trotting it out on the t-shirts. The cash machines at the Trump headquarters are going to just be going nonstop today. And when it comes to the Georgia indictment, as we've discussed, Fannie Willis is actually spinning up something that doesn't make a whole hell of a lot of legal sense. She could have charged Donald Trump for conspiracy to commit some sort of crime, right?
