No mugshot please. He will use is on his campaign. A prison intake photo is acceptable, however.

Labat's comments underline the intense public interest in the possible mugshot of a former president, a photo that historians previously predicted would quickly become one of the most famous images in recent memory. Trump's own campaign created a fake mugshot after he was arraigned in New York for an alleged hush money scheme.

Well he did always want to be on the cover of Time. I think his mug shot would be appropriate.
