Surrendering a mug

I was tickled this week when I noticed that Donald Trump’s supporters were selling merchandise with his mugshot on it, with the text “never surrender”. The juxtaposition of a photograph of someone taken as part of the process of surrendering with an exhortation never to do so was simply too much.
But then I came to understand that the Trump campaign itself was selling this merchandise… and it became a lot less amusing.
