So you're suggesting that trump specifically chose this hilariously terrible mugshot? NGL I could believe it.

I suspect he thinks he looks defiant and intimidating.

That's what he wanted, and the simping pig who took the photo thought.

My personal take is it's shallow and obvious, but hey, that's the target demo.

I'm beginning to think the photo was chosen specifically for it's meme-ability. The right are well known for utilizing the power of memes for political gains

I’m not sure if he’s hung over or crying, but either way…. Between the red eyes, the black eye, and the bad hair….

Yup, this is going on a mug.

It will be a great t-shirt print, especially if you make it in "Hope" style. This is what Trump and his personal ~~photographer~~ sheriff was trying to reach.
