Donald Trump has been arrested in Fulton County Georgia and given an inmate / booking number of P01135809. He has been released from custody pending trial on $200,000 bail.
Ever frugal with his money, Trump reportedly did not put up the full cash bail himself but instead used a bail bondsman. The result is Trump had to pay a premium up front to use the bondsman and overall is paying more than if he had simply paid it himself. Interesting choice, but I am not a billionaire so maybe it was a good move us regular folks do not understand.
Trump is also always the marketer. No doubt a lot of thought went into his booking mugshot and the pose he would take.
Here is the Trump mug shot on a coffee mug:
Never Surrender is both true for Trump in fighting for his freedom against perceived enemies, but also ironic in that he did voluntarily surrender to the authorities to be processed and booked.
But there is a difference between a going out in a blaze of glory and fighting through the legal system. This irony seems to be lost as Trump is accused of not properly using the legal system to challenge the 2020 election, yet that is what he is doing to challenge the criminal charges. He has not been calling for riots or a human blockade to prevent an involuntary arrest.
Unquestionably, 2024 will be one of the interesting political and legal scenes the country has ever experiences.
