Former President Donald Trump Returns to X with Dramatic Mug Shot

Trump, who was suspended by the social media platform in January 2021, was reinstated by new owner Elon Musk in November 2022. Since then, there has been much speculation about how Trump would make his triumphant return to the website that became synonymous with his brand and political style.
Trump turned himself in to be arrested in Fulton County, Georgia, on Thursday evening. He faces multiple felony charges related to his alleged attempts to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election.
Earlier this week, Trump agreed to a $200,000 bond and other release conditions set by the Fulton County District Attorney’s office. His mugshot was released by his team a few hours later.
The website DonaldJTrump.com now leads directly to a 2024 fundraising page for the former president.
“The American people know what’s going on,”
The fundraising pitch on the page reads, “What has taken place is a travesty of justice and ELECTION INTERFERENCE.”
Trump has faced criticism for using campaign funds to cover his legal defense costs for the four indictments he currently faces.
His message on Thursday night stated, “If you are doing poorly due to the sinister people in control of our country right now, don’t even think about donating! But if you can, please make a contribution to evict Crooked Joe Biden from the White House and SAVE AMERICA during this dark chapter in our nation’s history.”
In addition to X, the president also shared similar messages on his Meta-owned Instagram account and his social media site, Truth Social.
