Following his detention in Fulton County, Georgia, former President Donald Trump’s arrest, his mugshot has been making headlines. The four indictments against him are being celebrated by Democrats, but Fox News commentator Jesse Watters finds them noteworthy for a different reason.
On “The Five,” one of the co-hosts praised Trump for his somber demeanor and claimed that Democrats are unintentionally turning him into a political “martyr.” The co-host also praised the determined look Trump had in his mugshot.

“And I am now going to book the Fulton County photographer for my Christmas card,” Watters told co-host Jeanine Pirro. “Because Judge and I say this with an unblemished record of heterosexuality. He looks good, and he looks hard.”
Watters makes a remark about having a “unblemished record of heterosexuality,” which seems to be a reference to the television program “Seinfeld,” in which Jerry Seinfeld, who plays himself, is praised by the character George Costanza.
“The Democrats have overplayed their hand. They’ve done something that no one else has ever been able to do, and that’s make Trump a sympathetic character,” Watters added, according to Mediaite. “They’ve made him a martyr. And now I want to get arrested because I definitely need some sympathy.”
Trump, the front-runner for the Republican nomination in 2024, expressed his displeasure at having to give Fulton County authorities a mugshot in a recent interview with Fox News. Despite the fact that he hadn’t done anything illegal, he found the experience to be very unpleasant.
Donald Trump, a former president, turned himself in at the Fulton County Jail in Atlanta. This comes after being charged in a district attorney’s probe led by Fani Willis. The probe is centered on suspected efforts taken by Trump to void the Georgia 2020 presidential election. One of the sources covering this story was Fox News.
“They insisted on a mugshot, and I agreed to do that,” he said. “This is the only time I’ve ever taken a mugshot. It is not a comfortable feeling — especially when you’ve done nothing wrong.”
“This is all about election interference,” Trump said. “It all comes through Washington and the DOJ and Crooked Joe Biden — nothing like this has ever happened in our country before.”

The United States, in Trump’s opinion, is not only doing poorly, but it is also degrading to the point of turning into a Third World nation.
Donald Trump, the former president, was quickly processed and released after his bail was set at $200,000.
The former president chose not to appear in person and submitted a not guilty plea to the accusations on Thursday. There are reports that this choice was made.
Additionally, among the accusations leveled against 18 other defendants, Trump’s defense team is vigorously pursuing a separate trial for him. These accusations concern suspected racketeering and other crimes that have a direct bearing on the 2020 presidential election.
“Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee had set arraignment hearings on Sept. 6 for Trump and the 18 others charged in the case. Trump’s court filing entering a not guilty plea also waived arraignment, meaning he won’t have to show up for that,” the Associated Press reported.
Trump avoids the spectacular courtroom hearings that took place in his prior criminal prosecutions by opting not to show up in person. On both occasions, he was hauled into the courtroom in front of a crowd while being closely guarded and publicly proclaimed his innocence.
According to the newswire, Trump is free to avoid tendering a plea on live television since Georgia court rules permit news cameras in the courtroom.
A surprising turn of events has led to a 41-count indictment against Trump and his aides. The indictment detailed an alleged plot to overturn Georgia voters’ decision to support Joe Biden over the incumbent Republican presidential nominee after they had selected him as their preferred candidate.
President Trump’s lawyers has asked McAfee to consider his case differently from other defendants who are want a quick trial. It is significant to note that the judge has already scheduled the October 23 trial date for one of these defendants.
