Donald Trump’s mugshot has gone viral on social media.
The 77-year-old turned himself into police in Georgia earlier this week, after being indicted on charges of election interference.
The 45th President of the United States of America was booked in a jail in Atlanta and had a mugshot taken, before being released on a $200,000 bond after just 20 minutes.
Users of X, formerly known as Twitter, have run wild over the historic moment, as it’s the first ever mugshot of a former US president.
The 77-year-old made his return to the social media platform on Friday, over two years after his ban in January 2021.
The former US president shared his mugshot, writing: “Mug shot – August 24, 2023. Election interference. Never surrender!”
Hi son, Donald Trump Jr., also shared his father’s mugshot, cryptically writing: “Hey Deep State – He’s coming for you. See you on January 20th, 2025.”
