    A presidential candidate selling his mugshots to fund his campaign. Things are getting crazier and crazier in the USA as time goes by.

    This should tell you all something about the road you’re all going down with this guy. Salivating at the prospect of a mugshot got you losing touch with the political landscape.

    This guy’s political brand is “the establishment is corrupt and out to get me because I challenge their corruption, the media is in on it.” Every single thing you do to counter him strengthens him. You can’t mock him because he’s an unapologetic bufoon. And he has the perceived image of having tried to deliver on his promises and being blocked by the whole machine, seeing as he has been president before. ISIS destroyed, dollar a gallon gasoline, Israel having diplomatic relations with several Arab countries, this is a hard guy to beat politically, he has positioned himself nicely and branded himself just so that you cannot take his base from him no matter what you do, or what he does. “I could shoot someone in the middle of 5th avenue and not lose a single vote” should make it very clear, this guy is 100% self aware, he knows exactly how he is perceived and he uses it as a strength.

      He.s not getting stronger. Hus supporters think they are the only real americans and that everyone else doesn’t matter, but a majority of Americans want tobsee him behind bars

          2016 was a fluke and democrats are too spooked to miss an election, seeing how they haven’t had a true defeat since then

    You can sell them too, without giving the money to trump campaign then. You take money away from trump supporters and get richer. Win win.

    Imagine submitting a CV to a potential employer with a mugshot. Unless you’re looking for a job with a criminal organization or trying to be US president it won’t fly.

    Because being a criminal is a selling point for Republicans.

    Just wait until they find out that the guy with the four indictments and the mugshot doesn’t look as good to the swing voters.

    Reminds me of the Family Guy episode where Brian owes Stewie money, but rather than pay the debt back, Brian buys a disguise to hide from Stu.

    So trump doesn’t have money to pay for the $200k Georgia bond, but he has the money to pay for a mustache marketing this bullshit?!

      He knows getting a bond is a better story than “billionaire isn’t phased by every day felon things” to his base.

    Look, the one thing I am genuinely, no kidding surprised about is that he didnt try to sell tickets to see the mugshots taken live, at like 25k a pop.
