They seemed to be marking the end of America’s most globally revered icons of politics and governance: America’s proudly conservative law-and-order Republican Party; and America’s globally revered and imitated presidency and democracy.



Image One: Eight people are standing side by side behind lecterns that stretch across a grand stage: Six, from left-center to far right, have one hand raised. The two at the far left don’t. We’ll explain all that shortly.

Image Two: It is just an angry man’s face: Yup, Donald Trump.



That’s Trump, of course. Fox’s Martha MacCallum explains that Trump has been indicted in four different states on 91 counts and will be processed the next day at Georgia’s grimy Fulton County Jail on charges “relating to the 2020 election loss.” She is referring to Trump’s frantic, failed efforts to overturn his 2020 election defeat.

Baier then asks what history may record as perhaps the most inconceivable yet also the most revealing question ever asked at a presidential debate: “You all signed a pledge to support the eventual Republican nominee. If former President Trump is convicted in a court of law, would you still support him as your party’s choice? Please raise your hand if you would.”

Six Republicans are raising their hands, some hesitantly. After all, they are signaling yes, they would vote to elect as president a convicted felon who sat in the Oval Office and repeatedly desecrated the presidency by trying to overthrow America’s 2020 election. If they saw that in a Third World country, they’d call it a coup.

Only the two on the left, former governors Asa Hutchinson (of Arkansas) and Chris Christie (of New Jersey), kept their hands down. “Look, here’s the bottom line,” Christie says. “Someone’s got to stop normalizing this conduct. OK?”

When many in the audience booed lustily, Christie told them: “Now whether or not you believe that the criminal charges are right or wrong, the conduct is beneath the office of president of the United States.” Indeed.

That brings us to Image Two: The angry man. You saw it on your news screens Thursday evening – and readers of Fox News founder Rupert Murdoch’s New York Post saw it staring at them from page one Friday, without a single word. It was Trump’s Georgia jail mug shot, fiercely scowling, famously glaring, forever historic. He’d been fingerprinted and paid a bondsman $20,000 to post his $200,000 bond.

We heard Trump’s recorded words pleading with Georgia officials to “find” him 11,780 votes, one more than he needed to flip Georgia from Joe Biden to him. Recorded words – the undoing of yet another former president. In August 1974, Arizona’s conservative icon Sen. Barry Goldwater led fellow Republicans to the White House to affirm their law-and-order beliefs by telling President Richard Nixon he faced certain impeachment and conviction. They’d just heard Nixon’s recorded ordering of the criminal cover-up of the Watergate burglary and bugging.

Goldwater, the original “Conscience of the Conservatives,” would be enraged to see his hand-raising conservative successors deep-sixing their principles after swearing they would “support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic.”

Today I wish Richard Nixon, never a fan of my investigative inquiries, could come back just once more – so I could show him that tabloid mug shot and how Trump has put it on “Never Surrender” T-shirts he’s selling. I can hear my old nemesis asking if that dark-haired kid from the Queens or any of the Republicans who are making America grate again even heard his rather remarkable final farewell to his staff just before leaving his White House after resigning:

“Never get discouraged. Never be petty. Always remember others may hate you but those who hate you don't win unless you hate them. And then you destroy yourself.”

Sadly, Trump and his hand-raising Republicans may end up destroying not just themselves and their party – but our democracy – as he enflames his supporters with his never-surrender scheme. His last vain hope, and theirs, is that he can use his mug shot to save face. No words.

Former White House lawyer Ty Cobb has weighed in on the recent mugshot of ex-President Donald Trump that has been making waves on the internet.

What Happened: Cobb likened Trump’s appearance in the mugshot to a “Batman villain,” The Hill reported.

"This is the first time that a former president and his colleagues have been charged with a heinous crime like this, this is the first presidential former presidential mugshot, you know, we've ever seen," Cobb said in an interview with CNN.

"And while he looks like a Batman villain in his mugshot, he's still entitled to all the rights and privileges of a criminal defendant."

Cobb also suggested that the appeals process could extend the case in Georgia, especially given the requests from several of Trump’s co-defendants for a speedy trial or venue change. "There's a good chance they could still be arguing about what court this would be tried in federal or state court a year from now after, after appeals," Cobb said.

"I think this is an appealable issue."

On rumors of Trump misrepresenting his height and weight during his booking, Cobb dismissed them as inconsequential, remarking, “It's just another insight into Trump's psyche and how driven he is by whatever facts that he can get out that he thinks will make him more appealable to others.”

Why It Matters: Cobb’s comments came in the wake of Trump’s surrender to Fulton County jail on charges related to his alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 Georgia election results. Trump’s mugshot, shared on Elon Musk‘s social media platform X, has become a hot topic of discussion. The image quickly surpassed the 2023 Super Bowl in views, triggering a wide range of reactions, even drawing a comment from President Joe Biden.

NYT's Maggie Haberman says Trump gave a 'menacing' stare in his mugshot because he 'doesn't want to look weak'

Maggie Haberman said Trump made a "menacing" face in his mugshot to dispel any notion of weakness.
"That does not mean he's enjoying any of this. This is a serious thing," she told CNN's Jake Tapper.
The Trump campaign on Saturday announced that they have raised $7.1 million since Thursday.
New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman last week said that there was a clear reason why former President Donald Trump gave such a hard stare in the mugshot taken after he turned himself in at the Fulton County Jail in Atlanta: his refusal to project any form of weakness.

Haberman, who wrote the book "Confidence Man" and documented Trump's tenure in the White House more extensively than probably any other working journalist, told CNN anchor Jake Tapper that while the former president had made a similar face in public before, he wanted to make a point regarding his most recent indictment regarding his election interference case in Georgia.

"It isn't just that he wants to look menacing, which is certainly true, and he has made that kind of face in photos for years and years and years," Haberman said. "He doesn't want to look weak, and that's what that's about."

"Circulating the mug shot, fundraising off of it, owning it, using it for press ; that's all part of a playbook that we have seen him use over and over again," she said. "But that does not mean he's enjoying any of this. This is a serious thing. He is facing serious jail time."

Trump has used his four indictments and the mugshot as a rallying cry to his supporters as he remains the clear favorite in the 2024 Republican presidential race.

Forge of Empires
Last week, Trump posted on X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter, for the first time since January 2021. (Trump has been using Truth Social since being deplatformed by Twitter in 2021; X Corp. chairman Elon Musk subsequently restored the former president's account last November.)

Politico first reported on Saturday that the Trump campaign has raised $7.1 million since he was booked in Atlanta and had his mugshot taken by law enforcement last Thursday.

Tapper then asked Haberman if she could explain how Trump seeking to overturn his 2020 presidential loss in Georgia and pressing Gov. Brian Kemp and Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to help him overturn the results didn't project weakness.

"In his mind, he didn't concede," she said. "And that has been how he has operated, for decade after decade after decade, through business failures, through bankruptcies of his casinos, through losses, through products failing, through divorces."

"It is all been, if you pretend it is not happening, if you create your own reality, if you don't give in to what other people are acknowledging as objective reality, then, maybe it really isn't there," she continued. "And he is somebody, who does not think in terms of long-term strategy. He thinks in very short increments of time. And it's all about just getting from one post to another. And so, that is how somebody thinks like that."
