Former President Donald Trump’s campaign unveiled mugshot-themed wrapping paper Sunday just in time for the Christmas season.

The paper put up on the Trump campaign website is white and features a black and white copy of Mr. Trump’s mugshot from this year, replete with Santa Claus hat and “Never Surrender!”

Another version of wrapping paper, featuring Mr. Trump fist-bumping and donning the Santa hat, has a green background with “Make America Great Again.” Both are $35.

The Trump campaign also announced that anyone who donates $47 or more to the campaign will receive the Christmas-themed paper for free.

“Please make a contribution of $47 to FIRE Crooked Joe, WIN BACK the White House, and MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN — and we’ll send you your very own roll of our limited-edition Christmas wrapping paper for FREE!” an email sent out by the campaign Sunday read.

The mugshot photo was taken in August in connection to the charges related to his fight against what he called a rigged 2020 election in Fulton County, Georgia. Less than 24 hours after the photo was shot, his campaign already was selling merchandise with the image on it. More than $9.4 million poured in less than a week.

Polls show that the former president is the leading Republican primary candidate, with some state polls showing him ahead of President Biden.
