Trump's Iowa campaign rally has stage adorned with mugshot-themed Christmas decorations
The stage at former President Trump’s campaign rally in Iowa Tuesday evening featured Christmas-themed decorations — many of which included Trump’s now-infamous Georgia mugshot.
At least two different kinds of Christmas wrapping paper covered gifts onstage in Waterloo, Iowa. Both versions had patterns featuring Trump’s mugshot prominently. The mugshot on the wrapping was photoshopped to include a Santa Claus hat on the former president's head.
The mugshot was also featured on stockings that included a singular enlarged version of the mugshot. The stockings and gift wrapping both included the phrase, “Never surrender.”
Trump, the 2024 GOP presidential primary frontrunner, was indicted four times this past year, and the indictment in Georgia was the only time his mugshot was taken.
The image instantly became a rallying cry among loyal Trump supporters, and Trump has campaigned off the historic moment in the months since the photo was taken.
Immediately after Trump was processed in the Fulton County, Georgia jail, the Trump campaign announced it would sell merchandise — including T-shirts, mugs, can coolers and bumper stickers — featuring his mug shot and the phrase, “Never surrender.”
Recently, Trump announced he would be selling off pieces of the suit he wore when his mugshot was taken.
