Trump camp peddles ‘not guilty’ t-shirts with ‘mugshot’

As former President Donald Trump entered a Manhattan courtroom for his arraignment on business fraud charges Tuesday, his 2024 campaign was hawking t-shirts​ complete with a mock mugshot in exchange for a $47 contribution.

“[George] Soros believes that with his hand-picked D.A. – Alvin Bragg – having ARRESTED President Trump for committing no crime, they can bleed our campaign dry by dragging us through witch hunt after witch hunt​,” Trump’s Make America Great Again campaign said in an emailed pitch for the merchandise.

​”​But what better way to PROVE that our campaign will NEVER SURRENDER our country to the Left’s tyranny than countless grassroots patriots proudly wearing their very own ‘NOT GUILTY’ T-Shirts,” it continued. 

The email included an image of a t-shirt emblazoned with a black-and-white version of the 76-year-old’s official White House photo and the legend “NOT GUILTY.”

A placard under the photo identified him as “President Donald J. Trump. 45-47 04 04 2023.”​

“‘NOT GUILTY.​’​ Do you stand with President Trump, Friend? Please make a contribution of $47 or more to WIN in 2024 – and we’ll send you your very own ​’​NOT GUILTY​’​ T-Shirt for FREE​,” the email proclaimed. “GET YOURS NOW”​

“The only photo ​certified by President Donald J. Trump,” the message assured potentially skittish donors.

In real life, Trump apparently did not have a mugshot taken, though he was fingerprinted prior to his arraignment.

The former president has raised more than $8 million for his 2024 campaign since a grand jury handed down the 34-count indictment March 30.

Earlier Tuesday, the campaign sent an email blast urging Trump’s supporters to keep on contributing.

The charges in the indictment stem from Bragg’s investigation into a $130,000 hush-money payment to porn star Stormy Daniels in the weeks before the 2016 election.

Trump’s then-personal attorney and “fixer,” Michael Cohen, paid Daniels to ensure her silence about a sexual affair she claimed to have had with Trump a decade earlier. ​Trump has denied having a liaison with Daniels, as well as any wrongdoing in connection with the payment.
