A newly surfaced image from inside the White House has revealed Donald Trump’s mug shot displayed near portraits of some of the nation’s most revered presidents.
During President Joe Biden’s February 13 meeting with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, a photograph captured the framed cover of the New York Post featuring Trump’s now-infamous mug shot. The frame was positioned just outside the Oval Office door, which was left open.
Encased in an ornate gold frame, the cover was placed near portraits of George Washington, the nation’s first president, and Franklin D. Roosevelt, the only U.S. president to serve more than two terms.
Trump made history as the first U.S. president to have a mug shot taken following his indictment over alleged efforts to overturn Georgia’s 2020 election results. Processed at the Fulton County Jail alongside 18 political associates, the image has since been embraced by his most ardent MAGA supporters, who view it as a symbol of defiance and resilience in his 2024 presidential campaign.
The presence of Trump’s mug shot in such a historically significant setting has sparked widespread debate, with many questioning its intended meaning and significance.
