Trump posted his own mugshot on Truth Social, along with the words “never surrender” and “election interference” and a link to his website. Trump’s campaign immediately started selling T-shirts with the mugshot. Trump also tweeted out the mugshot, his first tweet in two years on the platform now known as X. The post had 3 million impressions in just 12 minutes.
Trump accompanied the tweet with a link to his website, which contained the message, “Today, at the notoriously violent jail in Fulton County, Georgia, I was ARRESTED despite having committed NO CRIME” and a fundraising solicitation.
Fani Willis, the Fulton County District Attorney who filed the indictment, previously told CNN, “What I could envision is that we actually live in a society where Lady Justice is blind, and that it doesn’t matter if you’re rich poor, Black, White, Democrat or Republican. If you violated the law, you’re going to be charged.”
