It looks like an image generated by stable diffusion.
Seriously, could they not get a shorter cameraman, or lower the tripod? A lot of these pics are taken at this angle.
The twat is posing. Why was he not made to stand straight and not pull a face like he’s on a wannabe supervillan dating site?
Ah yes, the Kubrick Stare. A staple of the villainously deranged.
This photo has become its own Rorschach test
Does anyone know why he used a bail bond company? Seems weird. Does he really not have the $200,000?
@MadMenace @Egg_In_Question He might not be liquid. Or he might just be broke. Or he’s just a cheap bastard. Any or all of the above.
The first thing you learn when you start gaining money is that it’s always best to tie up someone else’s money. Most people learn this first with credit cards.
What? What are you talking about? That’s not how bail works. He doesn’t need 200k.
The amount of your bail is the amount you owe if you don’t appear in court, not the amount of the deposit, i.e. the amount of cash you need on hand. That’s 10% of the total. If you have a 200k bail amount, you need 20 grand on hand, not 200 grand.
Hmm, that’s not how they work in my state. You either pay 100% of the bail yourself, or you pay 10% to a bondsman and they cover the other 90%.
Doesn’t this make her point even more? Had to use a bondsman for 20k but he’s super rich? Yiiikes
Maybe he can get more than a 10% return on the 200k over the time the bond money is to be locked?
That’s a valid point I hadn’t considered. Based on a cursory look at how bail bond works, if you go with a bondsman you’re out a certain amount regardless if you show up to court or not.
So if he paid the 200k he’d get almost all of it back after court, minus whatever processing fees the court has. If he goes with the bondsman he forks over 10% and the bondsman covers the other 90%, but he would get nothing back after court. The bondsman gets the full refund and keeps it all.
I can’t imagine the return on that would move the needle much for someone as “rich” as he is. I don’t know though, and I’ll fully admit this is pure speculation.
It’s hard to tell how rich he is exactly… but I bet we’re not thinking enough like a con man, and missing some angle.
Maybe he could start a fundraiser because of the 200K, but pay only 20K to a bondsman. Maybe his 20K cheque, will bounce back. Maybe his joke about fleeing to Russia, was no joke at all. Maybe going through a bondsman, saved him some paperwork, or time. Maybe he expects to be indicted on more charges, and have to post bond several more times… 10 times like this would be the difference between 200K for a bondsman, vs. locking up 2M. Maybe he found a sympathizer to post the 200K, and charge him 0%.
I like where your head’s at. I’m gonna go with the expecting more indictments angle paired with not being as rich/liquid as he’d like everyone to believe. What an unavoidable situation he’s found himself in.

Let’s reflect that this turd inherited 400 million dollars, and he couldn’t find happiness. Just misery.
I thought you were required to wash off makeup before a mugshot?
I think the orange has just leeched in permanently
Oompa loompa doopity doo
Looks like he’s been crying.
Someone on Mastodon pointed out how he looks like Vigo the Carpathian in his mug shot, and I can’t stop laughing.
I need to see this edit.
Is this real? I haven’t kept up with the news but if so this is fucking great.
Fan-fucking-tastic. Too bad that fucking weasel was gone an hour and a half later. But at least it happened I guess.
Now those who oppose trump must spread it everywhere to humiliate him and not let his fans use it to “own the libs”.
and those who support trump must spread it everywhere to raise funds for his legal fees and or campaigning
bUt hE lOoKs So bAdAsS
Edit - my wife just me this
OMG I love that!
Alright, so I can refer to ex-president Trump as Inmate #P01135809 for the duration of the trial.
Well I hope Inmate #P01135809 gets a fair trial and the justice he deserves.
This pose was specifically intended for tee shirts, banners, and protests. There’s going to be a lot of money made off this picture.

Nope, the Nazis actually replaced him with an evil genetically engineered clone back in 2014. The REAL Trump is going to return in 2033 backed by an army of angels who will come bearing gifts of clean coal and frozen peaches.
Yes, it’s really Trump, and yes, he does look like himself.
It’s so adorable how he’s trying so hard to look tough, but manages to look like the scared little rodent he is.
Anger is all he knows. He weilds his emotions with the skill of a feral dog.
