Mug shot of Donald Trump

Mug shot of Donald Trump
Man wearing a dark blue suit, white shirt, and red tie. He stares into the camera lens from up close, with his chin tucked in, his lips pressed together, his forehead furrowed, with bags under his eyes. The light falls on his face from above to his left, with the right side of his face in deep shadow and his comb-over gleaming platinum blonde and sticking out on the left side. In the upper left corner of the image is the logo of the Fulton County sheriff's office, Patrick Labat.

On August 24, 2023, after being indicted on racketeering and related charges, Donald Trump, former president of the United States and current president-elect of the United States, voluntarily surrendered himself to authorities at the Fulton County Jail in Atlanta, Georgia, where a mug shot of him was taken. In the photograph, Trump, wearing a blue suit with a white shirt and a red tie, glowers at the camera in front of a gray backdrop. His face is lit from the side and from above.[1] It is the first and thus far only police booking photograph of a U.S. president.[1][2][3] After its publishing, the mug shot was used on merchandise by Trump's 2024 presidential campaign, in Internet memes, and featured on various media reports worldwide.[4][5][6]
