Per Sky News:
It did not take long for people to compare Trump’s portrait to his mug shot from August 2023, when the Republican leader turned himself in at the Fulton County Jail in Atlanta, Georgia, after he was indicted by a grand jury on racketeering charges.
Trump went on to raise $US7.1 million in merchandise emblazoned with his ultra viral mug shot.
Mr Trump’s former adviser Stephen Miller told Fox News host Jesse Waters the mugshot is the “most powerful image” he’s seen.
ADVERTISEMENT“One man and his two eyes looked straight into the hearts of the American people and said, ‘I will not give up … I will not surrender’.”
Social media users said the inauguration portrait was “oddly similar” to the mugshot, and wondered if it was intentional.
