It may have been humiliating for the ex-president to take a mugshot, but he looked like a monarch en route to the Rice Street Jail.

I’m surprised that Donald Trump didn’t smile more in his mugshot.

I assumed he would give some variation of mischievous grin when the moment came. If not as a big fuck you to all parties responsible for forcing him to come to the jailhouse, for the sake of looking his best for merchandising. Then again, Trump was heading to the Rice Street Jail of all places.

There is no reason to smile about that place unless you are rapping along to Latto’s “Fuck Rice Street” in the mirror.

Perhaps it is only right he opted to scowl in his debut as inmate No. P01135809.

He absolutely practiced that pose on the private plane flight to Fulton County, right?

Equally hilarious is that he claimed to be 6 ‘3 and weigh 215 pounds while describing his hair color as “strawberry or blond.”

I can’t stand this man, but he is so funny at times.

On his already infamous picture, Trump told Fox News Digital that Fulton County officials had “insisted on a mug shot and I agreed to do that,” which he noted was “not a comfortable feeling — especially when you’ve done nothing wrong.”
