Tuesday is going to be a circus in New York City. Former President Donald Trump will be in the Big Apple to face charges for a hush payment. Of all the corresponding storylines attached to this monumental moment, here is one of the most interesting. 

Will Trump have to pose for a mug shot? If he does, will it become the most famous mugshot ever?

Trump will go down as one of the most photographed people to ever walk the planet. He’s been relevant and making headlines for 50 years. If he does pose for a mugshot, it could be one of the most unforgettable images of the past 100 years.

Word out of the prosecutor’s office in Manhattan is that they intend to treat Trump like any other defendant. That could mean handcuffs and a mugshot. There is a chance Trump’s attorneys could make a deal with prosecutors to allow him not to get cuffed. 

Trump may be secretly rooting to have a mugshot. He thinks it will become “the most famous one in the history of the world.” Always the marketer, Trump plans to use it to raise millions of dollars for his campaign, according to quotes from a friend of his.

There’s little argument about which mugshot is the mack daddy of all mugshots.  OJ Simpson’s shot from 1994 after he was arrested for the double murder of his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ron Goldman has become legendary. 

Will Trump smile if he’s forced to take one? Do you think he’s practicing his pose now? Tuesday is going to be interesting.
