On Thursday, the former president turned himself at the Fulton County jail on over a dozen charges related to his efforts to overturn Georgia’s 2020 election results.

Over the last five months, Trump has faced criminal charges in four separate cases, but the most recent booking was the first and only time his mugshot was taken.

Trump was permanently banned from the platform on January 8th, 2021, with the company citing a “risk of further incitement of violence” after his supporters stormed the US capitol.

Since then, Trump has started his own social media platform, Truth Social, and Twitter has rebranded after Elon Musk purchased the company, stating that he plans to turn it into an “everything app” called X. Trump has also announced that he’ll be running for president in 2024.

Trump first posted the image of his mugshot on Truth Social earlier Thursday evening.

Before reinstating Trump’s account last year, Musk also brought back the accounts belonging to the conservative parody outlet The Babylon Bee, comedian Kathy Griffin, and author Jordan Peterson.
