Trump recreates mugshot scowl in new inauguration portrait

Donald trump’s inauguration portrait has been likened to his Aug 2023 mugshot (left)

Donald Trump’s official inauguration portrait has been revealed ahead of next Monday’s ceremony – and has a striking resemblance to his infamous mugshot.

The president-elect is well-lit, and is wearing a blue suit and blue tie – but it is his expression that has captured the attention of keen observers.

Leaning in, Mr Trump has one eyebrow raised and is looking straight at the camera. His mouth is sealed shut.

“Trump really went with the mugshot aesthetic with the new presidential portrait,” said Benny Johnson, a Conservative commentator.

Mr Trump’s mugshot was taken at Fulton County jail in August 2023, where he was booked on racketeering and conspiracy charges and released on a $200,000 bond. Mr Trump denies the charges.

That picture saw him scowling at the camera and some social media users compared it to Ben Stiller’s “Blue Steel” look from the movie Zoolander.

The new image, taken by Mr Trump’s chief photographer Daniel Torok is just as stoic.

“It’s not the sort of face you’d like to see staring at you from the other side of a boxing ring,” said The Telegraph art writer Alex Diggins.

“Riffing off his 2023 mugshot – taken when he was indicted on racketeering charges – president-elect Trump’s inauguration portrait is part-Churchill, part-low rent mobster.

“The shoulders are hunched in a brawler’s pose, the jowls bulldog-like – but it’s the stare which does it. If ever an expression said “fight, fight, fight” – this is it. ‘Watch out’, it warns. You ain’t seen nothing yet.”

Mr Torok said: “We are entering the golden age of America!”

The portrait is a far cry from the “smiley emoji” image from 2017, as The New York Times described it.

Donald Trump Jr. and Republican supporters have proudly reshared the official picture ahead of Mr Trump’s swearing-in ceremony on Jan 20.

Mr Trump’s viral mugshot became a real marketed industry. The picture printed on t-shirts and mugs raised $7.1 million in merchandise, according to Sky News.

Clocks, t-shirts and calendars emblazoned with the new official inauguration portrait are already being sold.

One of the men who crashed the pound.

But also a member of the woke illuminati responsible for absolutely everything the twitter lads despise

Trump has brought peace to the middle east and has routed Blinken in doing so :clap:

Hopefully he can bring peace to Ukraine next.

Fuck the Danes. We should have declared war on them after their sneery attitude to us during recent football qualifying campaigns.

Hitler was a pretty good WUM.

Wumming has actually destroyed the world when you think about. It started with lads winding people up over Colin Lynch and the likes.

Ah it’s tremenjus craic.

Now WUMming is used to justify genocide and completely destroy any opposition to genocide, and destroy any opposition to the world being taken over by a cabal of Nazi billionaires.

Literally the entirety of the INTERNET is conducted through WUMming, even when it isn’t WUMming.

The possibilities for offline life are endless.

Vote for me, let’s run the health service on WUMming!

“I’m sorry, you have cancer, you have four months to live at best.”

“Oh no (cries). What will I do, what will my family do? I have three children and a wife and a mortgage which still has 25 years to run.”

“Only joking. Haaaaaaaa. Got you there, didn’t I?!”

“You bastard.”

“Haaaaaaaa!!!”

“I’m going to fucking kill you for doing that to me…”

“I wouldn’t do that, Sir.”

“Why?”

“You shouldn’t do it if you want to get palliative treatment for your terminal cancer. I wasn’t WUMming at all. You have four months to live. Maybe two.”

There’s a few lads on here grieving for the cuddly grandpa they never had and which joe never was. Still, they’re not going to let a genocide or two get in the way of their woke bedtime story.
