Outlaw, folk hero, renegade - That mugshot
makes Trump an American martyr. Why is
it that deranged liberals who loathe the
ex-president help him at every turn?

Inside that Fulton County jail, Donald J. Trump, weighing in at 6-foot-3-inches tall and 215 pounds, became a newly minted anti-establishment figure.
His mugshot is the stuff of Warhol: Instantly iconic Americana that will be reproduced and repurposed for decades to come.
In the immediate, his enemies have handed him the greatest gift imaginable.This image has turned a multi-billionaire former president into a folk hero, a renegade, an outlaw.
And America loves nothing more than an outlaw, as Trump well knows.
Within hours, he was selling official merch stamped with the image: mugshot coffee mugs ($25), beer cozies ($15 for a set of 2), t-shirts ($34) and bumper stickers ($12

I'm just 'back' from the Trump Official Merchandise online store.
Bought a pair of the 4" square mugshot stickers with 'NEVER SURRENDER'.
One goes on the back window of my little truck as soon as they arrive!

Where do we send thank you notes for his martyrdom?

Because, Maureen, they are stupid. And as liberals, likely have mental issues. No rational thought happens with them. They don't have to like Trump, millions don't, but they have over-reacted and gone off the deep end. Yep, they are helping Trump.

Why ? Because they fear him. Trump is about America and Americans. They're all about themselves and their pursuit of personal power an wealth. They've been selling out America for decades and the penalty for treason is quite messy.

Leftists think that because they create history, they need not learn from it. William L. Shirer describes how the worst mistake the Bavarian government made, was to give AH a soapbox during his trial for ....you guessed it!---insurrection. It raised his stature from local rabble-rouser to national figure. German authorities later banned him from speaking in public. Wonder how that turned out? And NO!, I am not comparing the two central figures, but rather the authorities ranged against them.

The face, the expression, the bulldog spirit and the slogan 'Never Surrender' is all Churchillian. The enemy equally evil!

Janis Joplin, Frank Sinatra, MLK, Bowie, Gates, Garcia, and numerous others have had now famous mug shots taken that only added to their legend. The democrats celebrating should have been better students of social history and realize they are being outplayed and outmaneuvered at ever point by Trump.

Democrats and their media lapdogs still think they control the media. That sea change happened years ago. The mugshot downloaded 'around the world' is even more proof that the legacy media is just like Sleepy Joe--wobbly, ineffective, slow off the mark, and still arrogantly assuming they call the shots. It is the conservatives who are the counter revolutionaries now. Saul Alinsky must be rolling in his grave.

Black men, traditionally leftists, are looking at the arrested, booked, mug shot-ed Trump as a fellow abused victim of a skewed legal system.
They've been "wrongly arrested," and held back by having an arrest record.
So, they now revere Trump as one of their own and would like him for president, maybe even for king.
Trump couldn't have engineered this move by blacks away from dems better than the leftists did themselves.

Because it's politics and that's the anti-MSM narrative, i.e. the way we want it to be. Optimism or confidence? Speaking truth to power? Or wishful thinking? Maybe we should check the Kraken this time before we rush into cockiness? Lord, help us.
