He will milk this picture to no end. It will be a major rallying point for his supporters and it will sell merch worth millions of dollars to help fund his law suits and reelection campaign.
The defense against this is for someone else to sell T-shirts with the mugshot that says "surrendered."
Yup, I actually think it was a mistake releasing it. As far as mugshots go he somehow turned it completely around to his advantage. As much as I don't like the man I have to admit he has an impressive ability to maintain his persona.
To us maybe he doesn't look so good but to his supporters this is a win. I can even see people being emboldened, committing crimes and going to jail proudly now because they'll be just like their idol.
