    The ones who argued his public mugshot would lose him supporters were idiots. Always got my comments buried for saying rhat and how the first thing he’d do was market his mugshot and exploit it for his political brand yet here we are.

      I remeber you.

      I knew you were right. I downvoted you because I didn’t want you to be right. It was a Farnsworth “I don’t want to live on this planet anymore!” downvote. I do not apologize.

      Yeah, that’s just not how cults work. Especially when the idol is supposedly “counter culture” due to the “deep state” having it out for them.

      The more you (deservedly) vilify him, the harder the zealots chant.

        It’s the same as in 2016 how Trump supporters would share clips and compilations of reactions to him from liberal media personalities, and how Hillary invented the “deplorable” slogan for them. His political brand was built by reactions to him largely from liberal media.

      I actually got to think that way and was surprised that he’s unashamedly using his mugshot to his benefit.

      But I don’t care. That mugshot is a delight to see. A US president’s mugshot? A corrupt one? I’m loving it!
