Becomes first president photographed for booking in historic Fulton County mugshot

Trump surrendered at the Fulton County Jail in Atlanta and became the first American president — current or former — to have a mugshot taken. The iconic image showed Trump glowering at the camera, an expression his campaign immediately monetized. Within hours, Trump made the mugshot his Truth Social avatar and began selling merchandise featuring the image. He spent about 20 minutes at the jail before posting $200,000 bond. The mugshot became the defining image of his 2024 campaign.
