To me it seems like the trump team had them retake te photo several times. It's off center, it's a non standard angle, and they're letting him make a face unseen in most mug shots.

Yes and if you look at the other mugshots in the series, most have a big glare spot. Trump almost certainly got photo privileges

I honestly think the glare is on Trump's "hair," it hangs over quite a bit too blocking light and he's got so much fake tan/makeup on that it doesn't reflect as much light as everyone else who didn't pretty up their faces for a mug shot lol

Why are mugshot photos so shit quality? It's like they are taking them on a webcam from 2003? That one is so hilariously blown out that it's like you're looking at a solar flare instead of a human.

It probably is a webcam from 2003.

We don't have any money! After we pay for the automatic rifles, the grenades, the body armour, the armoured vehicles and the fuel for the tank there really isn't $100 left to go to Best Buy and get a new camera.

Lol I agree but not sure if you responded to the wrong message? I'm talking about the restrictions the court put on him.
