I completely agree with you but just to be accurate that’s not his mug shot, it’s his official presidential portrait if I remember correctly. Still just as insane to want to do though of course

Im aware it’s not the same file, but i thought it was public knowledge that Trump specifically wanted the portrait to be inspired by the mugshot, the photographer that took the picture said as much in an interview Torok tells Polin that Trump’s mug shot directly inspired his official portrait, calling the latter “one of the most searched images, maybe ever.” https://petapixel.com/2025/01/21/photographers-react-to-donald-trumps-wildly-edited-official-portrait-daniel-torok-photo/

I see, thanks for that context and for providing a source, I appreciate the respectful correction, and I apologize for mistakingly trying to correct you when I didn’t understand the situation as well as I thought I did. Thank you :)

Tbh I thought he just decided he was in his scowling era and that was why the pics looked similar, knowing this makes a lot more sense tho
