Donald Trump’s Mug Shot Now Framed Inside the White House

A striking photo from inside the White House has revealed an unexpected detail: Donald Trump’s mug shot, framed and displayed alongside portraits of past U.S. presidents.

The image surfaced during Trump’s February 13 meeting with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Just outside the Oval Office, a gold-framed copy of the New York Post featuring Trump’s booking photo was spotted near portraits of George Washington and Franklin D. Roosevelt, two of America’s most revered leaders.

The mug shot, taken in 2023 after Trump’s Georgia indictment over alleged election interference, made him the first U.S. president—past or present—to ever face such a moment. What critics viewed as humiliation quickly became a rallying symbol for his supporters, appearing on campaign merchandise and fueling his 2024 presidential run.

Even after multiple indictments and a New York conviction on 34 felony counts, Trump turned the image into an emblem of defiance. He went so far as to incorporate the mug shot into his official White House portrait, breaking tradition with past presidents’ polished images.

Now hanging in the White House, Trump’s mug shot underscores his unconventional legacy—a leader who turned scandal into political branding.
