Since we’ve all seen TFG’s mugshot, I felt we should preserve some of the internet’s handiwork that turned it into a Meme. I’ll admit that some of the ones I came across were so inside (at least to this 75 y/o), I had NO idea what they were referring to.

Several Tweets referenced the fact that TFG is hardly the first “celebrity” to have a mugshot taken …

Speaking of presidents, Pres. Obama appeared a couple of times …
The new unveiling necessitated the rehanging of TFG’s official White House Portrait …

A couple commented on TFG’s history that led to his Fulton County Jail booking …
There was no escaping comments about his unhappy scowling pic …
And in addition to the pics on Twitter (aka, X), there were a few entertaining GIFs as well. Lincoln Project captured the moment it was Breaking News …
However, that certainly was NOT representative of the GQP reaction:
So, to Donnie and his Trumpkins, I say let’s turn that scowling frown upside down:
