Weird take of the day:

If Trump’s mugshot is made public it would cement him as an ‘outlaw’ and could make him a folk hero like Al Capone, presidential historian says.

When, not if, Trump’s mugshot is public — it will be emblazoned on pro Trump and anti-Trump merchandise. If by some miniscule fluke it is not released, people will mock one up for such purposes.

More to the point, his All Capine-ness or Poncho Villa or Bonnie and Clyde -ity is there regardless. Probably worse so, frankly — Yes, it is fine movie, Bonnie and Clyde, but on some level I knew the fictional representation masked the real ugliness and was fiction. Trump? His supporters don’t land there.
