Trump Wanted to Appear Defiant in Mugshot

“Donald Trump’s team had discussed the former president’s mugshot prior to him taking it at the Fulton County jail Thursday evening,” CNN reports.

“Trump ultimately decided he wanted to appear ‘defiant’ in the shot, and purposefully chose not to smile.”

New York Times: “As usual, he is dressed in the colors of the American flag: navy suit, white shirt, bright red tie — though his typical flag lapel pin is either absent or invisible in the picture. He glowers out from beneath his brows, unsmiling, eyes rendered oddly bloodshot, brow furrowed, chin tucked in, as if he is about to head-butt the camera.”
