One reason why Trump didn’t come across as a loser to his supporters was that he convinced grassroots GOP voters that he didn’t actually lose the 2020 election. Democratic control of the Senate and the tiny House GOP majority that fell short of red wave expectations were widely blamed on his botched strategizing.

The case is the fourth time criminal charges have been brought against former President Donald J. Trump this year, but Thursday was the first time that he was booked at a jail and had his mug shot taken. Mr. Trump spent about 20 minutes at the Fulton County Jail, submitting to some of the routines of criminal defendant intake. He was given an identification number — P01135809 — in the Fulton County criminal justice system. He was finished in 20 minutes and on his way back to the airport, where his private plane was waiting. That weight is 24 pounds less than the White House doctor reported Mr. Trump weighing in 2018.
