Donald J. Trump may not have an actual mug shot, but his campaign team was not going to miss an opportunity to raise money off his arrest with a ready-made meme: a $36 T-shirt bearing the former president’s face in a pretend booking photo, reported The New York Times.
The “Official Trump Mugshot White Cotton T-Shirt”
shows Mr. Trump above a letter board that reads “President Donald J. Trump,”
the numbers “45-47” — presumably signifying his status as the 45th and possible
47th president — and the date of his arraignment, above the words “NOT GUILTY.”
In a touch of Trumpian embellishment, his height on
the chart behind him appears to tip past 6 feet 5 inches. (In 2016, his doctor listed him as 6 feet 3 inches.)
Mr. Trump’s campaign said it had raised $7 million
since The New York Times broke the news of his indictment last Thursday. (Financial
records corroborating the claim will not be available for weeks.) The news that
Mr. Trump would be the first former American president to face criminal charges
set off a flurry of fund-raising efforts by Democrats and Republicans alike.
The T-shirt appeared Tuesday on the website of Mr.
Trump’s Save America Joint Fund-Raising Committee, whose proceeds go toward
both his 2024 campaign committee and a separate committee known as Save America.
