"...according to figures provided first to POLITICO by his campaign."
The same group that said 6'3" 215, right?
STOP taking headlines on face value and check/challenge actual sources of information (I.e. trump campaign)
Ummm isn't trump the "group" that said he was 6'3" 215. How the fuck is politico suppose to take the heat for trump being vain as fuck?
Politico is part of Axel Springer now, the German wannabe murdoch clone. Take everything with a grain of salt.

Good. Every dime he gets takes a dime from GOP candidates.
He bankrupted two casinos, let's hope he destroys the GOP
He definitely helped destroy the GOP currently. They split their voter base between typical conservatives and Trump (tm) voters. And with with desaints falling flat in Florida recently i doubt there will be enough support for him as a mainline conservative

villagers throwing money down a well, because they believe something down there likes them
Grifters gonna grift.
I just do not understand how this Zoolander mugshot can motivate people for anything but laughter. But apparently they even give money after seeing it.
How much of that is just laundering Russian money?
Can we see the donor list, please?
Russia has any money left?
Oh for sure. This is the most iconic image in us political history and all sides are fundraising off of it.
The biggest thing I've got from the mugshot is that Crybaby Trump must never again have any nuclear launch codes.

IDK about most iconic. Raising flag over Iwo Jima photo? 9/11 photos? JFK portrait photo? Just off the top of my head.
Trump doing a mini fundraiser over the whole "look how mad I am for the true Americans" B.S. expression he put on. Dems basically just saying "look at this dumbass" and ready to forget it within a week.

If he's convicted, does this count as proceeds gained via criminal activity, which he would then forfeit?
Nah, it's specifically not a crime to be arrested, that'd be an infinite jail glitch.
He'll waste it all on lawyers whose job will be to disprove hard evidence though, since he's very guilty, so it'll be fine.

That'll buy a lot of soap and toothpaste from the prison commissary!
He is going to buy ramen and use the flavor packets as spray tan.

To be fair, that mug shot was going to be printed on Tshirts and sold for millions to both sides of the spectrum regardless of who was selling it. It somehow really is an awesome mugshot.
