Ok so I am not buying the tough guy act he is desperately trying to portray in the photo. Dude is a walking ice cream sandwich in a suit.
I didn’t even realise he is trying to look tough. He looks anxious.
Red eyes and make-up wiped off his nose like he’s been crying, and a sulky expression…
Not at all tough. More like a young child who had a temper tantrum and is pouting.
I don’t doubt that he is belligerent, I don’t doubt that he is capable of murder. He is a rapist. If “dangerous” is considered tough, then I buy it. But tough is not the same as strong. There is no strength without empathy.
Dangerous is not the same as tough. When toughness is necessary, then weakness is the dangerous trait.
I’m not sure that’s what he’s going for. He just looks unhappy to me, which seems very plausible. If he had half a brain, he’d do a Bill Gates and put on a careless smile in his mugshot.
I thought you were required to wash off makeup before a mugshot?
I think the orange has just leeched in permanently
Does anyone know why he used a bail bond company? Seems weird. Does he really not have the $200,000?
The first thing you learn when you start gaining money is that it’s always best to tie up someone else’s money. Most people learn this first with credit cards.
@MadMenace @Egg_In_Question He might not be liquid. Or he might just be broke. Or he’s just a cheap bastard. Any or all of the above.
What? What are you talking about? That’s not how bail works. He doesn’t need 200k.
The amount of your bail is the amount you owe if you don’t appear in court, not the amount of the deposit, i.e. the amount of cash you need on hand. That’s 10% of the total. If you have a 200k bail amount, you need 20 grand on hand, not 200 grand.
Hmm, that’s not how they work in my state. You either pay 100% of the bail yourself, or you pay 10% to a bondsman and they cover the other 90%.
Doesn’t this make her point even more? Had to use a bondsman for 20k but he’s super rich? Yiiikes
Maybe he can get more than a 10% return on the 200k over the time the bond money is to be locked?
That’s a valid point I hadn’t considered. Based on a cursory look at how bail bond works, if you go with a bondsman you’re out a certain amount regardless if you show up to court or not.
So if he paid the 200k he’d get almost all of it back after court, minus whatever processing fees the court has. If he goes with the bondsman he forks over 10% and the bondsman covers the other 90%, but he would get nothing back after court. The bondsman gets the full refund and keeps it all.
I can’t imagine the return on that would move the needle much for someone as “rich” as he is. I don’t know though, and I’ll fully admit this is pure speculation.
It’s hard to tell how rich he is exactly… but I bet we’re not thinking enough like a con man, and missing some angle.
Maybe he could start a fundraiser because of the 200K, but pay only 20K to a bondsman. Maybe his 20K cheque, will bounce back. Maybe his joke about fleeing to Russia, was no joke at all. Maybe going through a bondsman, saved him some paperwork, or time. Maybe he expects to be indicted on more charges, and have to post bond several more times… 10 times like this would be the difference between 200K for a bondsman, vs. locking up 2M. Maybe he found a sympathizer to post the 200K, and charge him 0%.
I like where your head’s at. I’m gonna go with the expecting more indictments angle paired with not being as rich/liquid as he’d like everyone to believe. What an unavoidable situation he’s found himself in.
Someone on Mastodon pointed out how he looks like Vigo the Carpathian in his mug shot, and I can’t stop laughing.
I need to see this edit.
Now is the Season of Evil.
Reminds me of Rufus Scrimjore or however you spell the minister from Harry Potter.
Is this real? I haven’t kept up with the news but if so this is fucking great.
Fan-fucking-tastic. Too bad that fucking weasel was gone an hour and a half later. But at least it happened I guess.
Now those who oppose trump must spread it everywhere to humiliate him and not let his fans use it to “own the libs”.
bUt hE lOoKs So bAdAsS
Edit - my wife just me this
OMG I love that!
and those who support trump must spread it everywhere to raise funds for his legal fees and or campaigning
Let’s.
This pose was specifically intended for tee shirts, banners, and protests. There’s going to be a lot of money made off this picture.
Ah yes, the Kubrick Stare. A staple of the villainously deranged.
Alright, so I can refer to ex-president Trump as Inmate #P01135809 for the duration of the trial.
Well I hope Inmate #P01135809 gets a fair trial and the justice he deserves.
Oompa loompa doopity doo
Beat me to it :). His weight and height should be out soon if anyone wants to make bets.
6’3" 215lbs was reported. I don’t believe that for a second.
It’s self reported. They released it before he entered the building
What the hell? Why provide those details at all if you aren’t going to make sure they’re accurate?
He probably has lawyers fighting literally every step
Oh that’s such BS. They let him self report.
Well his hands are pretty small…
215lb 🙄
Seriously, could they not get a shorter cameraman, or lower the tripod? A lot of these pics are taken at this angle.
The twat is posing. Why was he not made to stand straight and not pull a face like he’s on a wannabe supervillan dating site?
This photo has become its own Rorschach test
Looks like he’s been crying.
Giving off some serious 1930’s mob boss vibes with this one.
It looks like an image generated by stable diffusion.
