“Handsome Guy”
Biden scoffs at Trump’s mug shot

A sinister-faced former US President snapped for prison records: Trump’s mug shot will go down in history. Incumbent Joe Biden briefly comments on the likeness of his predecessor.
US President Joe Biden only briefly commented on the publication of a police photo of his predecessor Donald Trump. “I saw it on TV,” Biden said while on vacation on the US West Coast when asked by reporters. When asked what he thought of the picture, the President said with a mischievous smile on his face: “Handsome guy. Wonderful guy.” Biden did not go into detail about the photo.

On the so-called mug shot, Trump stares into the camera with a scowl. Eyes straight ahead, lips pressed together, brow furrowed. As usual, he is wearing a dark blue jacket, white shirt and red tie. Only one thing is different than usual: next to Trump’s blond hair, the emblem of a sheriff’s office in Atlanta is emblazoned in the top left of the picture.
Former US President Trump had to appear in a prison in the state of Georgia on Thursday evening after being charged in connection with attempted voter fraud in order to face the authorities there. His personal details were taken at the Atlanta County Jail appointment — and a mugshot was also taken of the Republican, who hopes to run for president again in the 2024 election.
Strawberry blond hair, 97 kilograms
Trump used the unprecedented photo directly for the election campaign and published it on social networks. Trump portrays himself as a victim of a politically motivated “witch hunt.” The image is likely to go down in history. Trump is the country’s first ex-president to appear in prison on an indictment and have a mugshot taken.
However, something else caused ridicule after the former president’s identification service: Trump’s weight. Because the Republican, who was registered with the prisoner number P01135809 and according to the documents has blue eyes and blonde or strawberry blonde hair, is listed at 97 kilograms. And that with a height of 1.90 meters. At Trump’s last health check as President in June 2020, he still weighed a good 110 kilos. There was a lot of mockery online for the weight loss that you don’t necessarily see. It was unclear how the weight was determined in prison. Or whether the wish was the father of the thought here.
