Transcript

00:00Donald Trump, but before he was president again, being convicted was such, or actually

00:06sorry, being indicted.

00:07Well, he was convicted.

00:08He was convicted.

00:09But even before the conviction, there was the indictment in Georgia where that mugshot

00:13was taken.

00:14And it was a huge milestone because we'd never seen a former president or president take

00:20a mugshot.

00:21Well, then we saw the official portrait that was taken with Donald Trump.

00:26When he did get into the White House.

00:27And the portrait.

00:28And he used the same pose.

00:29Right.

00:30He used that same pose.

00:31It's the same pose.

00:32It worked before.

00:33But that wasn't good.

00:34That wasn't good enough.

00:35That wasn't on the nose.

00:37No.

00:38So you would think maybe it's something that he wouldn't celebrate.

00:42But this is Donald Trump and his presidency is always going to be just a little different.

00:47So he is not running from it.

00:49In fact, we saw this yesterday during his meeting with the prime minister of India.

00:53You got a shot of just outside the Oval Office and in that hallway, he's got the New York

00:58Post front page with his mugshot there framed just as you walk into the office.

01:04You know why he likes it so much?

01:06Because he believed and he may be right.

01:08He got back there.

01:09That helped him get elected.

01:10Absolutely.

01:11And not just that.

01:12I think to a lot of people, it probably represents, like you said, Charles, first time a president

01:15has been arrested, taken a mugshot.

01:18But I think to Trump and to his supporters, I think it represents what they see as, you

01:22know, lawfare that was exacted against them that they overcome.

01:26And like you said, Harvey, I think it did ultimately help Donald Trump get elected.

01:31I mean, he might still have won the election without it, but I do think it actually did

01:35help him.

01:36So I think that's why they're they're choosing to remember that moment.

01:39It's not the convictions or the felonies.

01:42It's the lawfare.

01:43And it's in their minds, their political opponents trying to take him out using the court system

01:48and him prevailing.
