That Trump mugshot keeps rolling in the dollars

THE mugshot of the century has raised another $2 million. Since it was taken last month at Fulton county jail in Atlanta, Georgia, more than $9 million has poured into Trump's election coffers, bringing the total in August alone to $20 million. The shot of Trump looking "good and hard" as a female Fox News presenter described it, is now appearing on walls, as well on caps and t-shirts and mugs, and no doubt soon it will become the must-have tattoo for all Trump fanatics. The Trump mugshot is a phenomenon, and there is nothing his Republican rivals can do to equal it. It should be a badge of shame but for Trump it's something to glory in and promote and publicise and to generate donations. It's a campaign promotional device we have never seen before and it's going to carry Trump all the way to the White House where, if he really does win in November, 2024, he will no doubt produce another one of those scowling stares as a way of warning any opponents to keep quiet. He's probably working on his presidential address from the Capitol already. It will be withering, it will attack everything Joe Biden has done, it will be relentlessly harsh. It will be true Mugshot Trump. **Buy my new spy thriller, Shadow Lives, from Amazon.
