TL;DR Summary

Former President Donald Trump's mug shot, taken during his arrest on felony charges related to his attempts to overturn the 2020 election, is being turned into merchandise by both supporters and critics. Trump's fundraising committee is selling "NEVER SURRENDER!" mug shot t-shirts, beverage holders, and coffee mugs, while his son Don Jr. is marketing "FREE TRUMP" mug shot t-shirts and posters. On the other side, the Lincoln Project, an anti-Trump group, is selling shot glasses with the mug shot and a rallying cry. The image could be a significant fundraiser for Trump, as campaigns can make a 50% profit or more on merchandise sales. The legal rights surrounding the use of the mug shot are unclear, but political parody goods may receive some protection.
