Oh my god, you’re a gangster!” Paul laughs in disbelief as he unfolds one of the two shirts – one white, one black – which bear the former president’s mugshot and the slogan “Never Surrender”. This is what we’re reduced to…” Addressing the infamous glowering police photograph, which Trump has used prominently as part of his fundraising efforts since it was taken, he tells Paul and Majlak: “Well Elvis had one, Frank Sinatra had one, but we’ve eclipsed them. A long time ago we’ve eclipsed them.” Donald Trump presents Logan Paul with a T-shirt bearing his mugshot ahead of their podcast interview Paul, a huge social media celebrity turned WWE wrestler, also posted a photograph of a grinning Trump posing with his championship belt, which attracted a deluge of criticism from his followers, as well as a further clip on the Impaulsive X feed in which he and Trump discuss the possibility of getting Joe Biden to appear on the show, rating his chances at “less than one per cent” For his part, Trump posted a short video on his new TikTok account of himself and Paul squaring up to each other before breaking up into hysterical laughter, a slightly eerie spectacle given how rare it is to see the former president in such a natural and unguarded moment. Trump has been busily touring conservative media to plead his innocence in the wake of his guilty conviction at his New York hush money trial late last month, insisting baselessly that the proceedings held at Manhattan Criminal Court were “rigged” by President Biden and his political enemies to smear him and keep away from the campaign trail.
