Americans Are Mocking Trump's Mug Shot that He Took to the Bank

A fool and his money are not always easily separated despite the proverb that claims otherwise.

That Trump is as dumb as a rock is a given, but he still manages to make wine from vinegar when fundraising.

His now infamous mug shot made his campaign about $10 million dollars. It's also earned him the scorn of a nation that doesn't believe a presidential candidate should be making money when he's been indicted on 91 felony charges in four separate criminal indictments.

I'm impressed by the deep stupidity of both Trump and his cult. They've managed to create an alternative reality that is fact free. But it's certainly good for laughs.

So, you have a photo of Trump proudly holding up a tee shirt with the logo - Never Surrender.

Take a second look at that $34 dollar tee shirt he's touting on his Truth Social website. It's a photo of him surrendering to the Fulton County court system! What's with that? Doesn't Trump and his minions understand that he had to really surrender to authorities?

Pundits on X, formerly known as Twitter, had a field day with Trump's tee shirt grift.

- "Buy your Never Surrender tee shirt of me literally surrendering. Act now!!" one wag suggested.

- "He's like one of those guys outside a concert selling the knockoff tour t-shirts," another pundit said.

-  "Remember, that picture was only taken *because* he literally surrendered to law enforcement," another person wrote.

- "Rock bottom: A former President of the United States hawking tee shirts online. Wow. Just wow," said another person.

- "Who's going to sell the upcoming photo of Trump in his orange jumpsuit? I don't think it will be him," another commentator noted.

- "What billionaire sells tee shirts and begs for money from poor people?" one outraged pundit asked.

As it stands, perhaps the saddest part of this latest grift is that those who can't afford to shell out money are doing it and not even realizing the irony in their actions.
