Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsTrump team is "negotiating" with Fulton County DA's office about the logistics...
...of how he will turn himself in? (I heard it on CNN this morning.)
He might prefer to slip in under cover of darkness and get it over with, without any fanfare?
Or he might prefer to make a big show out of it? We do not know.
My bet is that he will want to keep it as quiet as possible.
Instead of a mugshot, perhaps he has a favorite photo he would like them to use?
It will be interesting to see what they "negotiate".

more like begging and pleading.
What does he have to negotiate with? Not showing up? Holding his breath?

(116,417 posts)but I expect him to want to make a big show of it. When did he ever avoid a public display of pretend martyrdom?

(116,417 posts)It looked from Monday night's broadcast of the presentation of the indictment like most of the court staff was Black as well; the same is likely to be true of jail staff. He'll probably be booked, printed, photographed, etc., by Black people. He's gonna hate that.

(5,812 posts)He is a criminal defendant. PERIOD. He gets the same drill and treatment as any other defendant...no better and no worse. He simply is not special, one way or the other.

(26,287 posts)He sucks, but this is not a weird thing for someone to ask.
Scottie Mom
(5,812 posts)While, yes, there is the SS and their accommodations to be dealt with, but I don't think that is his concern since he appears to only think about himself.

(5,812 posts)Looks to me he is asking for something not on the "play bill" as listed by the deputy.

One bookmaker site, Antigua-based BetOnline, on Friday offered an over/under of 273.5 pounds for Trump's weight upon his surrender to authorities in Fulton County, noted gambling news Instagram account TheJuice.
Over/unders, which are also often used to bet on the point total of a sporting event, allow the gambler to select whether they believe the outcome will be higher or lower than amount selected by oddsmakers.
According to BetOnline employee Dave Mason, 77 percent of gamblers have taken the over bet on Trump's weight so far, spurring the sportsbook to increase the total by eight pounds.
That might rankle the former president, who on Thursday lashed out at Fox News, accusing the network of using unflattering photographs that make him look 'big' and 'orange' with his 'chin pulled way back'.
