Democrats have been working on arresting Republicans since the George W Bush administration, and were all in on Trump even before Trump won in 2016

I was hoping more for a “Queen Of Chaos” type mugshot, but, I’m sure there was a reason for him doing it like that
(Daily Caller) Former President Donald Trump approached reporters after surrendering himself Thursday night in Georgia, and shared his frustration about his arrest after being fingerprinted and having his mugshot taken.
“I really believe this is a very sad day for America. This should never happen. If you challenge an election you should be able to challenge an election. I thought the election was a rigged election, a stolen election — and I should have every right to do that. As you know you have many people that you’ve been watching over the years do the same thing,” Trump said.
“Whether it’s Hillary Clinton or Stacey Abrams or many others. When you have that great freedom to challenge you have to be able to otherwise you’re gonna have very dishonest elections. What has taken place here is a travesty of justice — we did nothing wrong, I did nothing wrong — and everybody knows it. I’ve never had such support.”
Trump said “what they’re doing is election interference” and “there has never been anything like it in our country before.”
“This is their way of campaigning,” Trump added. “This is one instance but you have three other instances.”
It’s going to be a tough bar to prosecute Trump and the others, who’ll stand on their 1st Amendment Rights, including Free Speech and petitioning for redress of grievance. Even if he loses in county court, it’ll be killed on appeal. And, could there be unintended consequences if Trump wins in 2024?
(Breitbart) The mugshot of President Donald Trump has rallied the opposition behind him. And it will give the former president a mandate, should he win the election, to sweep away the rot in our government, without compromise.
Now that Democrats have shown how far they will go, Republicans will feel it necessary to prevent them from ever doing it again. (snip)
Big changes will be made, and justifiably so. Secret archives will be opened. Mass pardons will be offered. Whole government departments will be dismantled or relocated. There will be no kangaroo courts — none of the perversions Democrats have committed — but the Democrats behind the “Russia collusion” hoax, including Hillary Clinton, should call their lawyers.
There will be no mercy for those who have attacked the rights and values of our constitution and then claimed to be acting in defense of democracy — a democracy they abhor when it provides leaders that do not serve their own corrupt interests.
Let’s say a different Republican is the nominee and wins: this could well happen. Even Trump hating Chris Christie could do this. It wouldn’t require all the squishy Congressional Republicans, either, the get-along-go-along ones.
But I found, to my surprise, once I saw the mugshot, that I felt excited, almost elated. Trump’s glowering face did not show pain or shame. It did not even show anger. It was a look of righteous indignation, the glare of a man who may be a prisoner now, but is actually in control. It was the expression he wore a thousand times on episodes of “The Apprentice.” It was how he looked when he said, “You’re Fired.”
They will all be fired, if he wins. And half the country is prepared to do whatever it takes to give him the chance.
Time will tell.
