MSNBC was giddy thinking about how Trump could possibly be shanked in prison, talked about how he hates black (couldn't be further from the truth), CNN refused to air Trump's comments after the photograph, and then once it backfired they said it was planned and reversed course. The boomerang was instantaneous.

"He doesn't looked scared, does he? He doesn't look humiliated. He looks exactly the opposite of how the left thought he'd look. So the media now say the look was planned. The media is worried that they've created a monster. They understand how powerful imagery is. They can feel the power of that image. It's not what they thought it would be. They've lost their grip on the story. They've handed Donald Trump a political gift that will last a lifetime. The memes are sensational. Donald Trump is already selling T shirts. It is jet fuel for the campaign and ironically for his legal defense funds. It's tapping into something real. The mugshot's turned Trump into a sympathetic character in black America. If 2 percent of the black vote swings to Republicans, Biden loses. Now Trump is seen as a martyr. Now Trump represents someone persecuted by the man and he represents the forgotten man. That is a powerful combination. The left's overzealous political prosecutions have backfired and turned him into a force of nature. Democrats thought that the mugshot was going to be the end for Trump but it may be the start of a new beginning."
