Good afternoon. In case you haven’t been anywhere near a social media site in the past five hours, the mugshot of Donald Trump has been posted online by Fulton county in Georgia, where the former US president has been charged over his efforts to overturn the 2020 election.
Trump surrendered at the Fulton county jail on Thursday evening and was processed as any criminal defendant. It is a moment in history and Trump is already attempting to fundraise off it, returning to former Twitter platform X for the first time in two years to post the mugshot photo with the message “NEVER SURRENDER!” – delighting the site’s new owner.
