Trump Mug Shot Merch Equals Big Dollars for His Campaign

So, get this folks. Remember when former President Trump turned himself in last week after being charged in Georgia? Well, turns out that whole ordeal has been quite the money-maker for him.

According to Fox News, the Trump campaign has raked in a whopping $9.4 million since that mugshot moment. And that's not all, folks. The total fundraising numbers for August have skyrocketed to over $20 million.

How did they do it, you ask?


Well, they started selling merchandise with Trump's mugshot plastered on it. And apparently, it's been quite the hit. They've sold a staggering 36,000 t-shirts, bringing in a cool $1.7 million.

Can you believe it? But wait, there's more.

They've also sold 24,000 coffee mugs and 8,600 posters, bringing in a combined total of $1.2 million.

Say what you want about Trump, but the man knows how to turn a scandal into a cash cow.
