Unlike most accused people, Trump wasn’t required to pose for a mugshot – disappointing T-shirt manufacturers across the world.
No mugshot for Trump.
Federal law enforcement official said there are already many images of Trump available, if law enforcement needed to see one for reference in this case

Police in Miami had expected tens of thousands of supporters to surround the courthouse, but the reality was far less dramatic.

After the arraignment, Trump was allowed to leave, under some conditions regarding contact with his co-accused and former White House aide, Walt Nauta, or with any witnesses.
Naturally, it was a Twitter hot topic.

I know the liberal media will try to spin it, but the crowd outside the courthouse in Miami is the largest audience EVER to witness a 2nd indictment of an ex-president, period!

The lesson of the Trump indictment is that Trump should watch more law & order bc anyone who watches law & order knows that if you’re going to commit a crime, you shouldn’t tell anyone about it and if you do tell someone about it probably shouldn’t be someone with a tape recorder

Trying to confirm the rumor that Trump requested that Jack Smith add Don Jr. to the witness list after the Judge ordered that he is not to have any contact with witnesses.

Was there ever any actual doubt what his plea would be?
The man could get caught standing over a corpse, holding the bloody knife, with a crowd of eyewitnesses & video evidence of him doing the stabbing…
& He'd still claim "I didn't do it! It's a witch hunt!" https://t.co/PZjBw2PuHH— DJ Claussen (@DJClaussen71) June 13, 2023

LOL, the courtroom artist drew trump with a jawline that doesn’t actually exist, and a few sizes slimmer, but still with his small hands…#TrumpArraignment #TrumpArraignmentDay pic.twitter.com/EOyX2Garo9
