In Atlanta, Georgia, Thursday, August 24, Donald Trump could not escape the ritual of the “mugshot”, the taking of the mugshot. Suspected of having tried to reverse the results of the 2020 presidential election, the billionaire was briefly arrested, then released on bail. A first in the country’s history.
Frowning eyebrows and hard gaze. The pose was skilfully crafted for this shot, already historic. This is the first time that a former US president has had to undergo a mugshot. According to Donald Trump, this procedure aims to hinder his candidacy for the presidency of 2024. “What they are doing is election interference and an attempt to interfere in an election. There has never been anything like it in our country. It’s their way of campaigning.”, estimated the billionaire. Donald Trump is accused of trying to manipulate the results of the 2020 presidential election.
“I believe he is innocent”
He poses as a martyr and even hastened to post his legal photo on his X account, formerly Twitter, with these few words: “Never surrender.“ Something to galvanize his supporters who were waiting for him at the entrance to the prison. “I believe he is innocent. I will defend my president. I want him to win again for the country”, assures a woman. On the other hand, for his opponents, this judicial step is rather reassuring. The former president was released on $200,000 bail. The prosecutor asks that the trial be held next January.
