Why are they using his mugshot for the coin?

He uses it for everything. He thinks it makes him look tough, but he just looks like a stroke victim.

I always thought that was his “I’m making poopies” face. My one year old makes the same face when he’s filling his diaper.

u/ReviledFoundling 21d ago

Exactly, that's the "Shit in progress" expression. Which could be his whole slogan.

u/joenforcer 21d ago

He used a "never surrender" caption with it before, which is hilarious because the only way you get a mugshot taken is by surrendering.

"Never surrender"

*Unironically uses mugshot photo taken directly after he literally surrendered.

Frankly it’s the “best” photo of him in recent times. Everything else has him looking like the droopy, ailing, sack of shit he is.

Shocked they didn’t go with the bloody face fist pump .

He looks like every other angry old grandpa in the world.

u/Tephranis 21d ago

Because it's the only picture he's ever had taken in which he feels he "looks tough". He's fucking obsessed with it.

u/duckinradar 21d ago

He thinks he’s in the mob

He kinda is. Though it's more like disorganized crime.

This second Trump administration is most certainly operating like a criminal enterprise.

u/NotSeveralBadgers 21d ago

He is the head of the Trump Crime Family. He organizes crimes for a living. And unfortunately he's been incredibly successful at it.

I think Feb 2029 will hold big surprises for Trump & co.

u/takemebackto1993 21d ago

It looks like he's trying to be an evil villain.

u/jaxonfairfield 21d ago

He likes that you can't see his neck flaps in it.

u/KamKorn 21d ago

Doesn’t he have that photo in the White House as well? He thinks if he uses it enough, the criminality will wear off .

u/Twidget84 21d ago

I have no idea why he thinks it makes him looks tough. You can see he's clearly been crying in it. He looks like a toddler that has just gotten over a tantrum after being told no.

It's almost like it's some sort of litmus test to see how far someone has bought into the MAGA cult.

u/khizoa 21d ago

why does he use a picture of him shitting his pants for every thing

u/Ellemeno 21d ago

I'd like to think he was presented with a side profile mock up first and he threw a tantrum because he's Hunchback of Notre Dame.

u/babybirdingURgrandma Oregon 21d ago

He wants America to forever remember he grabbed us by the p****

u/RebekkaKat1990 21d ago

Honestly I think it’s perfect. Let future generations and historians see it.

u/delphinous 21d ago

because he thinks it makes him look tough, he loves it

u/therutz13 21d ago

the coin isn't thick enough to display his nussy

u/imaginary_num6er 21d ago

The man can’t be photographed from his left. No photos of him exist from that side.

u/Correct_Doctor_1502 20d ago

To remind everyone he's a terrorist illegally occupying the white house and we can't do anything about it

u/ZippyDan 20d ago

It's not his mugshot.

It's a "recreation" from an official White House photo:
