CALLAHAN: His mugshot is the stuff of Warhol: Instantly iconic Americana that will be reproduced and repurposed for decades to come. America loves nothing more than an outlaw.
Inside that Fulton County jail, Donald J. Trump, weighing in at 6-foot-3-inches tall and 215 pounds, became a newly minted anti-establishment figure.
But the mugshot — wholly unnecessary, avoided in Trump's three other indictments, meant to humiliate and degrade — has opened up a brand new revenue stream and re-energized Trump's already fanatical base.His mugshot is the stuff of Warhol: Instantly iconic Americana that will be reproduced and repurposed for decades to come.
Truly, it's mystifying: Those who loathe Trump, who have come to know him intimately, still don't get him! Trump doesn't just get the appeal of transgressiveness — he is the ultimate transgressive. 'Grab 'em by the p•••y', 'I like people who weren't captured', 'Very fine people on both sides' — nothing takes Trump down. This mugshot won't either.
Fox had 12.8 million viewers. Compare that to the Trump-Tucker interview, which clocked nearly 200 million eyeballs.
