Never surrender...
Two weeks ago, Donald J. Trump surrendered to the Fulton County jail where he was booked, fingerprinted and posed for a mugshot. This is a first as no US president can claim what he has accomplished... that is, he is facing 4 criminal indictments.Within a few hours his mugshot came online. There was a delay as so many people clicking to see it overloaded the network server.
It didn't take long for King Grifter to turn this event into a money-making merchandising operation by selling T-shirts and and mugs with his booking photo and the inscription:
NEVER SURRENDER.
One small detail is he had to surrender to the jail for them to take a mugshot.
Did I miss something here?
It's now reported Trump's campaign has raised $9.4 million since his booking with the release of his shirts. I'm surprised he didn't offer a signed and numbered 'collectors edition' for $500 bucks more! Certainly this is something collectors could be hawking on eBAY for years to come.
Mugshots posted online are part of the public domain... however there are some rules/limitations about their use and misuse. One topic that is being tested is profiting off of ones mugshot. Another is playing down the seriousness of a criminal indictment and can that be perceived as a form of jury tampering?
This is what I've seen in the news and since it appears to be something without case history, can the Fulton County Sheriff’s Office legally force Trump (and his campaign and or merchandising company) to cease selling the shirts and mugs. One step further, could they be legally charged and have to pay fines for misuse and possibly have to refund the money?
Warning: while I often allow off-topic comments to my blogs, any mention of Biden weaponizing the DOJ or FBI will probably disappear in the night.
From what I see it's not only T-shirts and mugs.

Huh...
I would rather give her the benefit of the doubt that she is coerced and trapped (especially as a mother) and be wrong, than assume she's a super-b*tch and be wrong.
She certainly never seems to enjoy the lifestyle if her thunderous and sometimes crushed facial expression is anything to go by. Plus, she's worth about $70M in her own right, so I'm sure she could manage without him.

you gotta terminal case, Sir.
Shirley, you jest!!
I thought political things in the news would taper off, but that didn't happen. News about Trump has gone tenfold. If it's not Trump, it's something inspired about Trump.
