President Donald Trump and his team unveiled a new piece of artwork that now hangs just outside the Oval Office in the White House — his now iconic mugshot, taken in Georgia in 2023.
”New office art just dropped,” the Rapid Response team posted, sharing a photo.

The New York Post noted that the framed piece was not just the mugshot itself, but the Post’s front page on the day that the mugshot went public.
“Post’s front page of Trump mug shot adorns wall outside Oval Office,” the outlet noted.

The consensus on X was that Trump had succeeded yet again in trolling the very people who had used politically-motivated prosecutions to attempt to sideline him ahead of the 2024 presidential election.
“They framed Donald Trump’s mug shot and put it on the White House wall. This is so bad a** that it’s surreal,” one posted.
