Watch out for any encounters if you’re considering donning a Trump Mugshot shirt.
NBA legend Charles Barkley didn’t hold back in his response to Donald Trump’s recent comments about his infamous police mugshot being “embraced” by black voters in America.
Trump’s remarks, made at the Black Conservative Federation’s annual Honors Gala, suggested that black people were supportive of his mugshot, drawing applause from the audience. However, Barkley was quick to condemn Trump’s statement, expressing his outrage on his CNN show with broadcaster Gayle King.
In a fiery response, Barkley stated that if he ever saw a black person flaunting Trump’s mugshot, he would “punch him in the face.” Despite King’s reminder that assault would result in his arrest, Barkley remained defiant, asserting that he would bail himself out and celebrate afterward.

Continuing his critique, Barkley expressed his offense at Trump’s comparison between his situation and the struggles faced by black people throughout history. He emphasized the billionaire status of Trump and the unfairness of equating his experiences with the discrimination endured by the black community.
Furthermore, Barkley highlighted the truth behind some of the allegations against Trump, including the storming of the Capitol and claims of election fraud. However, he underscored the disparity between Trump’s privileged life and the systemic discrimination faced by black people.
Meanwhile, Trump’s focus has shifted to his potential presidential bid, following the Supreme Court’s ruling allowing him to run again. He praised the court’s decision and hinted at seeking presidential immunity from prosecution, as he awaits the court’s upcoming deliberation on his appeal regarding immunity in a criminal case involving efforts to overturn the 2020 election results.
Despite the legal battles ahead, Trump’s determination to reclaim the presidency remains steadfast, as he gears up for Super Tuesday and the subsequent Republican nomination race against former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley.
