According to multiple reports, he was given the opportunity to be arraigned quietly over Zoom from Mar-a-Lardo instead of flying to NYC, but he refused - he wanted the spectacle. He wanted the perp walk (which didn't happen), he wanted the mug shot (which also didn't happen), he wanted to look like the victim, because that's how he fleeces the rubes.
And when there was no mug shot, his campaign team made a fake one, put it on a tee-shirt, and started selling it for $47. The rubes are probably tripping all over themselves to buy a dozen or so, and as usual they are completely unaware that he's laughing at them. |
