The Trump campaign was quick to move on fundraising opportunities as the former president’s historic mug shot was released by officials in Fulton Country Georgia.
A new variety of mug-shot-inspired merchandise appeared on Trump’s 2024 presidential campaign site Thursday night shortly after the photo taken at the Fulton County Jail was released to the public.

While the tagline on the merchandise reads “NEVER SURRENDER,” Trump, himself, surrendered Thursday to authorities in Atlanta.

Trump turned himself in at the Fulton County jail on more than a dozen charges stemming from his efforts to reverse Georgia’s 2020 election results. He was released on a $200,000 bond.
The case is the fourth brought against Trump this year.
If you fancy products featuring Trump’s mug shot, you can pick up a short-sleeved or long-sleeved T-shirt for $34, a coffee mug for $25, and $15 beer Koozies.
Trump was not the only candidate apparently fundraising off of the former president’s arrest. President Joe Biden suggested on Thursday that “Apropos of nothing, I think today’s a great day to give to my campaign.”
