Trump made history in 2023 when he became the only sitting or former president to have his mug shot taken<\/p>\n

Donald Trump<\/a>‘s mug shot is hanging in the White House near famous portraits of America’s most notable presidents.<\/p>\n

In a photo taken from inside the Oval Office during the president’s Feb. 13 meeting with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, an issue of the\u00a0New York Post<\/em>\u00a0with Trump’s mug shot on the cover can be seen hanging just outside the door, which was left open.<\/p>\n

Set in an ornate gold frame, the criminal booking photo was in close proximity to portraits of Founding Fathers, including first President George Washington, and the only president to serve more than two terms, Franklin Delano Roosevelt.<\/p>\n

The 47th president made history in 2023 when he became\u00a0the first sitting or former U.S. president to have his mug shot taken<\/a>, after he was indicted for his alleged efforts to overturn Georgia’s 2020 presidential election results.<\/p>\n

Along with 18 of his political associates, Trump was processed at the Fulton County jail.<\/p>\n

The low-resolution mug shot was unexpectedly embraced by loyal MAGA followers during Trump’s 2024 presidential campaign as a symbol that he could not be taken down.<\/p>\n

Separate from Trump’s Georgia criminal case, he was indicted in three other investigations \u2014 two of which were at the federal level.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

In May 2024, he was\u00a0convicted of 34 felonies<\/a>\u00a0in New York, all related to falsified business records, again making history as the first U.S. president convicted of a felony. Just 10 days before his second inauguration, the New York judge sentenced him to\u00a0“unconditional discharge”<\/a>\u00a0for those crimes, which allowed him to avoid punishment given his status as the president-elect.<\/p>\n

Days after the New York judge’s sentencing, Trump recreated his mug shot through his second official White House portrait.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

While most presidents before him posed with chins up and smiling wide \u2014 as Trump himself did for his first term in office \u2014\u00a0the 47th president instead stared into the camera from a downward angle, unsmiling with furrowed brows.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
