Outside the Oval Office, frame photos with lenses of President Trump's cup, on the cover of the New York tabloid.
The image shows Trump frowning on the reservation footage of the Fulton County Jail in Atlanta, which has become a symbol. The booked photo was taken for the Georgia case and is related to his efforts to overturn the state's 2020 presidential election results. Experts say many of Trump’s supporters believe that in another New York case, felony convictions against the president are part of the institutional strategy to suppress their dissatisfaction.
Cara Finnegan said: "When Trump's cup shooting was released in August 2023, he and his supporters immediately accepted it, which became a Trump-themed merchandise and Trump A very common feature of favorable memes. "Illinois in Urbana-Champaign.
"I think the reason he embraced it was because he wanted to fight him legally, and he thought it was a conspiracy designed to disappoint him," Finnegan said. "So, whether it is based on facts or laws, this approach does Make base animation.”
In Georgia, where the cup was filmed, Trump still faces allegations related to efforts to overturn the state's 2020 presidential election results.
He was eventually convicted in New York, allegedly linked to a $130,000 boom payment by adult movie star Starry Daniels to influence the outcome of the 2016 election. Trump was released unconditionally for criminal convictions in this case, meaning he would not face fines, prison or any other fines.
The New York State case is the only criminal case that Trump has been tried. After federal prosecutors won the 2024 election, he dropped two other criminal cases against Trump.
Trump is the first to sit or other president to be convicted of criminal charges. His proud display of his cup footage is just the latest example of his ignorance of political norms.
"I think the gun shot hanging outside the office needs to be understood as Trump's thumbs-up nose at the conference," Finnegan said.
"Beware that he is sending political signals by doing so. He makes sure people understand that he is not bound by legal conventions during this presidency."
Trump is not the only politician to exploit the scandal. Former Texas Governor Rick Perry also sold photos of his cup after he was accused of abuse of his post as governor.
But Brandon Rottinghaus, a professor of political science at the University of Houston, said more and more people are willing to accept the controversy.
"There is no sanctions from the past," Rottinghaus said. "The loss of political scandal means loss of responsibility. Scandal is like canary in a coal mine. If the scandal doesn't matter, then we will lose a trigger mechanism that tells us there is in the system defect."
