CORRECTION: A May fundraising email by former President Trump's campaign mentioned him being "tortured" in the Fulton County jail. Due to an editing error, a previous version of this story included incorrect information.

Former President Trump's campaign in a Monday fundraising email criticized his treatment at the Fulton County Jail in Georgia, saying he was "tortured" while getting his historic mug shot at the jail.

Trump has frequently sought to raise funds from the mug shot, and the email that mentioned the torture was sent out to promote coffee mugs featuring Trump's mug shot.

" I want you to remember what they did to me. They tortured me in the Fulton County Jail, and TOOK MY MUGSHOT. So guess what? I put it on a mug for the WHOLE WORLD TO SEE!" the fundraising email said.

[Walleye]

3. How long before somebody says, "I'm voting for him because he was tortured in jail"

[riversedge]

13. Trump prob. did see it as torture as Fulton was the only one of the 4 that got the mugshot!!

crybaby!!

[Walleye]

18. Exactly, he had to sit for a photo and nobody paid him for it. Unthinkable

[Bernardo de La Paz]

4. Orange snowflake thinks fingerprinting is torture? Mug shot is torture?

I think we should play this up. He thinks his "torture" endears himself to African Americans.

That having bone spurs is equal to scars from whip lashing? That having to mug for a shot is equal to having to look over your shoulder for a lifetime?

6. Why People Just Told Him Flat --- Step This Way, Sir. Stand There.

Don't imagine the nightmares will ever cease....

[prodigitalson]

12. for someone who has done literally whatever the fuck he's wanted since he got out of that military school..it

probably seemed like torture, like that cold ny courtroom

[slightlv]

7. Oh, please, if that man's fantasies ever came true,

he'd have no skeleton on which to drape his copious amounts of fat and skin... Torture. Sure... take a week of my chronic pain and see what torture can be. Then go to your beloved Russia and check out a gulag.

[Novara]

8. Live with my sciatica, motherfucker, and tell me what torture is.

Someone saying "step on that line there" isn't fucking torture, you fucking pussy.

[usonian]

9. Magas are eating it up.

[MayReasonRule]

10. I Heard Trump Adores Watersports...

We could take him waterboarding on the MIssissippi...

We could bounce him off the waves in Maui just for fun!

'Course I'm pretending is all, I'm sure that he'd have a ball!

Gettin' golden on a beach in Cuba... tied to a wall!

May he receive his just desserts in this lifetime.

[ArkansasDemocrat1]

16. Why would you do that to the ocean?

It's already polluted enough

[MayReasonRule]

20. Lol!

Praise Bob!

with so many tears in their eyes about having to book him into jail?

[ArkansasDemocrat1]

27. Their eyes were watering from the methane n/t

[ProudMNDemocrat]

17. Yo, Donnie! If you were "tortured".....

You would have been actually weighed and had your height without shoes on taken for the record rather than you supplying that info.

Talk about "torture"!

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

19. He wanted a Big Mac and they wouldn't get one for him

For TSF that's torture.

[niyad]

23. Hmmmmm, where was his security detail while this "torture" was happening?

And, as I recall, wasn't he in there for less than an hour?

[ArkansasDemocrat1]

29. The Jackson 5 had something to say about this!

32. I like...

Demented, narcissistic, megalomaniacal Republican presidential candidates who weren’t tortured.

[sakabatou]

33. What? He only got three meals a day instead of having more?

Or was he not allowed to have a TV and an adoring media present?

[Retrograde]

34. When was he actually in jail?

Getting fingerprinted and photographed is akin to visiting the DMV for a new license- some people find it unpleasant but there’s no long-term physical affect
