MUG-SHOT: Trump Capitalizes on Jail Photo With T-Shirts, Mugs, and Bumper Stickers
• https://www.mediaite.com, By Charlie NashHours after the arrest, Trump's 2024 campaign released a line of merchandise plastered with his mugshot and the slogan, "NEVER SURRENDER!"
As of reporting, the Trump campaign is currently selling t-shirts (both short and long sleeve), mugs, beer koozies, and bumper stickers emblazoned with the mugshot, alongside more typical merchandise such as red "Make America Great Again" hats.
Others were also quick to put their own mugshot merchandise up for sale, including Donald Trump Jr., Breitbart News, and Turning Point USA's Benny Johnson.
