Trump proudly shows off his new t-shirt – with one glaring flaw

Donald Trump proudly showed off a new T-shirt on Thursday that he hopes his fans will buy to help fund his campaign and legal defense.

“You can go out and get it, have fun with it, but people like it, I have to say,” the former president said in a video posted to his Truth Social site where he showed off the $34 shirt.

He presents his mug shot, taken after his last arrest, and the words “NEVER SURRENDER!” »

But there’s a catch: the image on the shirt literally shows him surrendering.

The mugshot was taken when Trump surrendered to Georgia authorities to be charged with charges related to alleged election interference.

“They’re making me look like a criminal,” Trump complained in his video, but insisted the photo “totally backfired” as it netted him $10 million.
