Trump Campaign Claims Torture, Launches Mugshot Merchandise
Donald Trump’s campaign team has claimed the former US president was “tortured” when he turned himself into a Georgia jail last August.
“I want you to remember what they did to me. They tortured me in the Fulton County Jail, and TOOK MY MUGSHOT. So guess what?” a new fundraising pitch from his camp said on Monday, June 24. “I put it on a mug for the WHOLE WORLD TO SEE!”
The campaign is now offering fans the chance to purchase “limited edition” coffee cups and T-shirts featuring Trump’s mugshot from his booking.
Trump was the first former US president to have his mugshot taken and be booked in jail for a criminal case.
Initially, he faced 13 counts for alleged 2020 election tampering in Georgia, but that number has since been reduced to 10.
After his booking, Trump’s fundraising efforts raised $4.18 million in 24 hours, selling T-shirts and other memorabilia with the mugshot.
His team later raised $53 million in a 24-hour period following his conviction in the Manhattan “hush money” case.
The campaign is offering the mug for a $47 donation to Trump’s 2024 election effort.
A February report from WinRed, the Republican’s online fundraising platform, confirmed Trump raised $4.2 million the day after his mugshot was released.
Trump still faces sentencing in the Manhattan business fraud case, where he was convicted on 34 counts of falsifying documents.
He is also under indictment for allegedly mishandling classified documents found at his Mar-a-Lago, Florida, home.
It was reported that bandits were seen in Kwara State and abducted six residents from Rukpete Village.
The incident was reported to have occurred on June 8 at about 11 p.m.
Sources revealed that seven people were initially taken, but an elderly man was later released, leaving six victims in captivity.
The rising cases of insecurity in the country remain quite alarming.
The state of the country is affecting many people, as they believe nowhere is safe, including schools where they keep their children.
It has been reported that some parents have started withdrawing their children from schools in Abuja.
It can be noted that rumours of bandits being sighted near a school triggered panic, causing parents to hurriedly remove their children for safety.
While the reports of bandits have not been confirmed, the school has also issued safety measures to ensure the protection of students within the premises.
It has been rumored that bandits have made their way to Lagos, and allegedly they were spotted in Ibeju-Lekki, where some residents became suspicious of them and reported the matter.
A clip of the group of men went viral online, and many people became concerned. Whether true or not, fear has been sparked among Lagosians as they worry that bandits may already be in the state. Even if the reports remain unconfirmed, many believe it is still a possibility worth paying attention to.
