Per TMZ:

President Trump’s breaking new ground during his second term in the Oval Office … ’cause he’s the first president to hang his mug shot just outside of it!

The 47th prez met with India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi at the White House Thursday and photographers snapped hundreds of shots as they sat across from the Resolute desk — but it’s the background that’s eye-catching.

Gotta love the perspective showing a stately portrait of Thomas Jefferson inside the office, on the wall behind POTUS.

It doesn’t appear to be just a photo BTW … Trump hung up a copy of the New York Post front-page story about his mug shot. He’s been a fan since the 1980s, when the outlet regularly published pics of him.

Here’s what Newsweek reported:

President Donald Trump’s mug shot, one of the most infamous photos of the president that became a symbol of defiance for Trump and his supporters, now proudly hangs in the hallway outside the Oval Office.

The booking photo, which shows Trump glaring into the camera, was released by the Fulton County Sheriff’s Office shortly after Trump surrendered in August 2023 on charges that he illegally schemed to overturn the 2020 election in Georgia.

A first for a former U.S. president, Trump’s campaign capitalized on the mug shot by slapping the image onto mugs, T-shirts and other merchandise and used it to fundraise.

While some viewed it as a moment of shame, it became a badge of honor for Trump and his supporters as he faced criminal charges in multiple cases that he decried as political persecution while campaigning to win back the White House in 2024.
