Chicago rapper Bandman Kevo gets Donald’s scowling mugshot TATTOOED on his thigh – as merchandise supercharges campaign fundraising by more than $7M in a week
A Chicago rapper has had the famous mug shot of former President Donald Trump tattooed on his leg.
Bandman Kevo, whose real name is Kevin Ford, shared footage on Instagram on Tuesday of himself getting Trump’s mug shot, along with the phrase “Make America Great Again” written on his body.
The 35-year-old rapper had the work done by artist Gabriel Gonzalez at a studio in Hollywood, Florida, before uploading photos and videos of it to his social media.
Ford captioned his post, “Make America Great Again or Sleepy Joe,” and another video shows him repeating the MAGA mantra on camera.
It’s the latest example of Trump mania sweeping the country after the former president made history by being the first to pose for a mug shot.

Since then, his own campaign team has started selling merchandise with his frown on it.
His website currently sells t-shirts, beverage coolers, mugs, and bumper stickers, all with the photo reading “NEVER GIVE UP.”
Independent makers have also attempted to make money selling their own merchandise, both to the benefit and detriment of the former president.
The mugshot has been printed on hats, t-shirts and mugs by opponents and supporters alike.
In Atlanta, visual artist Chris Veal, aka Caveal, painted a mural of Trump with a bubble box reading “MAGA My ass got arrested.”
On social media, supporters gleefully share images of themselves wearing t-shirts with the former president’s mug shot.
A bakery in Fulton County, Georgia, even decorated cookies with the former president’s mugshot, which owner Canita Allen said sold out quickly.

Due to the high demand, the bakery has now only sold the cookies online for one week.

The Trump campaign received $4.18 million in funds last Friday, marking it as the most financially successful day of the entire campaign, according to the newspaper.
The 77-year-old was arrested for the fourth time this year last Thursday and was fingerprinted by authorities at Atlanta’s Fulton County Jail.
Trump’s height of 190.5 cm and weight of 97.5 kg were pre-registered and entered on the booking forms. As part of the process, he was given a prisoner identification number: P01135809.

He was subsequently released on payment of 10 percent of his $200,000 bail after spending just 20 minutes in the facility.
Donald Trump remains miles ahead of his Republican counterparts, a new national poll shows — despite four arrests, a historic mugshot and not attending this week’s GOP debate, where many of his rivals had a strong performance.
Organized by Insider advantageThe survey of likely Republican voters found that, despite his controversies, the former president has a 27 percent lead over his closest runner-up in Ron DeSantis, and 34 percent over South Carolina’s Nikki Haley.
Next up was the man many thought had won the noticeably Trump-less debate, biotech millionaire Vivek Ramaswamy, who recently beat DeSantis as the perceived winner in a poll organized by DailyMail.com. Here he scored only fourth place, with 7 percent.
