Donald Trump posts mugshot meme with guns pointed at his face saying ‘Soros’ and ‘pedophiles’
Donald Trump has reposted a meme of his mug shot, complete with 19 CGI guns around his face, just hours after his humiliating surrender at a Georgia prison.
The meme shared on Truth Social shows the former president’s police photo modified with a series of pistols pointed at his head, each emblazoned with words representing his apparent enemies.
Illustrating the 77-year-old’s story that he is under fire from corrupt, politically motivated authorities seeking to sabotage his 2024 White House bid, the guns are branded with words such as “Soros,” “pedophiles,” “Democrats.” ‘ and ‘fake news’.
Other firearms say “indictment,” “globalists,” “fascists,” “deep state,” and “FBI,” while the words “NEVER SURUP!” WE ARE UNITED WITH TRUMP!ā frame the image.
Trump reposted it on his self-created social media platform not long after making history by becoming the first former president to pose for a mug shot.

He was arrested Thursday and fingerprinted by authorities at Atlanta’s Fulton County Jail, charged with attempting to overturn Georgia’s 2020 election results.
It was his fourth arrest this year, but police have not taken his booking photo during previous appearances for them in New York City, Miami and Washington DC.
The meme Trump shared was originally posted by a MAGA fan named Andrea, who gushed about him as a “hero.”
Through an account called @God_Bless_Trump47, she revered him as a patriot who “deales with so much on a daily basis without even considering giving up” because “he wants to save America.”
She wrote in the former president’s signature style, “We love you, President Trump. You’re BRAVE and BOLD and you’re a BADASS.ā
Trump shared her post with his 6.39 million followers after also sharing his mugshot on X, formerly known as Twitter.
It was his first tweet since January 2021, when he was banned from the platform following the January 6 attack on the Capitol.
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.
Online commentators have speculated that the president may actually be heavier than he let on.
He was released on payment of 10 percent of his $200,000 bail after spending just 20 minutes in the infamous facility.
The former president traveled to Georgia from his home in Bedminster, New Jersey, on Thursday afternoon.

His motorcade went first to Newark airport and the New York-born billionaire boarded his Boeing 757 to fly to Atlanta.
Landing in Atlanta shortly after 7 p.m., he greeted the waiting media and gave a thumbs up, got off the plane, and was driven 14 miles to the jail.
Trump’s arrival at the Fulton County Jail on Rice Street in downtown Atlanta was met with cheers from his supporters, and some boos from opponents.
He spent about 20 minutes in the dilapidated prison, where seven people have died incarcerated since the beginning of the year, and was treated much more quickly than other accused criminals.
Trump’s height and weight were recorded, as were his hair and eye color. His fingerprints and booking photo were taken and his bail was paid.
Notably, Trump was 25 pounds lighter than the weight recorded at his last arrest in April.
At 7:55 p.m., he was back in his motorcade heading for the Atlanta airport.
Trump declared on the tarmac that it was “a very sad day for America.”
He said it was “a mockery of justice” and added: “We have done nothing wrong, I have done nothing wrong.”
āThis is election interference. That’s why I want to thank you for being here. We have done nothing wrong,” Trump said. “We had every right, every single right, to challenge an election that we believe was unfair.”
He then boarded his plane and flew back to New Jersey.
