"Psaki Predicts Trump Mug Shot Backfire in 2024: The Power of Persuasive Images"

Former White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki believes that Donald Trump's recently released mug shot will not be beneficial for him in the 2024 general election, as independent and moderate voters are unlikely to be swayed by the image. While Trump and his allies may see it as a rallying point, Psaki argues that the scowling mug shot is unlikely to make him more appealing to anyone who is not already a hardcore supporter. Psaki emphasizes that sometimes images can be more persuasive than words, and in this case, the mug shot may backfire for Trump.

On the other side, the Lincoln Project, an anti-Trump group, is selling shot glasses with the mug shot and a rallying cry.

"Trump's Historic Mug Shot: The Smiles and Bomb Threat Investigation"

The release of Donald Trump's mug shot, taken by the Fulton County Sheriff's Office after his fourth indictment, marks a historic moment and symbolizes the norm-shattering presidency of Trump.
