Investigative journalist Laura Loomer purchased $452 worth of merchandise featuring former President Donald Trump’s mugshot.
Trump’s mugshot from Fulton County Jail in Georgia was leaked after he was booked following last week’s indictment by district attorney Fani Willis. The former President began selling merchandise featuring the mugshot shortly after the image leaked.
Investigative journalist Laura Loomer, who has been an ardent supporter of the former President, shared a post to X, formerly Twitter, revealing she had purchased all of Trump’s available mugshot merchandise for a total of $452.
“I just ordered 6 Donald Trump mug shot shirts. I ordered 2 in multiple styles and colors so that I can wear the same shirt every day of the week,” the investigative journalist wrote. “I also just bought 5 Donald Trump Mug Shot coffee mugs and two packs of bumper stickers from President Trump’s website!”
“Happy to send Donald Trump $452 tonight to send a message to those who are attacking him,” she added.

Following Loomer’s post, users expressed frustration with Trump’s website using WinRed by suggesting some of funds donated would go towards the Republican Party rather than Trump’s campaign.
“I don’t like WinRed, and I would prefer that Trump didn’t have WinRed and that he would instead use an alternative like Anedot, but it is what it is at this point, so we have to make due with it so we can help President Trump,” Loomer said.” You can always send a check as well. If you purchase the products on SAVE AMERICA, it’s my understanding majority of the funds (aside from the very small credit card processing fee) go to supporting Trump.”

“Like I said, I did it last night and got a receipt to prove it.”
Merchandise available from Trump’s website includes shirts, mugs, individual beverage coolers, and bumper stickers with accompanying text reading, “NEVER SURRENDER!”
The former President also shared his mugshot to his website along with a message.
“Today, at the notoriously violent jail in Fulton County, Georgia, I was ARRESTED despite having committed NO CRIME,” the message reads on Trump’s homepage.
“The American people know what’s going on,” the message continues. “What has taken place is a travesty of justice and ELECTION INTERFERENCE.”
“The Left wants to intimidate YOU out of voting for a political outsider who puts the American people FIRST.”
