IDK about most iconic. Raising flag over Iwo Jima photo? 9/11 photos? JFK portrait photo? Just off the top of my head.
Trump doing a mini fundraiser over the whole “look how mad I am for the true Americans” B.S. expression he put on. Dems basically just saying “look at this dumbass” and ready to forget it within a week.
This is also a historical event, Trump getting arrested. A little less interesting of one, for that matter, since COVID didn’t exactly match up to WWII in terms of national impact, nor did anyone really care about a president in the last 30 years as much as they did about JFK.
Can you actually imagine someone running for president as Dem in 2073 using that picture? 2033, even? I’d be surprised (and disappointed) if the current system of government is still in place in 50 years.
It’s historical for how political it is, Biden is even fundraising on it. I didn’t think “Russian interference” talking points would last past inauguration day 2017 and then I was sure it was dead when Mueller found jack shit, but i was way wrong on that. so I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s used in every attack ad for the rest of my life. It will be a pop culture image forever like Al Capone, Rosa Parks, Johnny Cash, David Bowie, and Pablo Escobar’s mugshots.
When I was a bit younger, during the Bush era, I bought into people saying everything was historical and this was going to be the catalyst for some huge change in politics. The reality is more depressing, there’s just a constant stream of this kind of thing, and they just fades away and gets replaced in a couple weeks by the next thing. Since this is literally a mug shot of a president, yeah it’s a bit of a historic pic, but don’t get drawn into thinking it’s like The Symbolic Image That Will Define This Generation Of Politics. Although maybe 2016-2022 of U.S. politics to be fair, like if the news 30 years from now is going to show a montage of what happened in politics around now.
Oh it’s not going to change anything. This rico case is DOA and Trump win or lose is still going to be Trump. The only image more iconic to come from this would be Trump in a orange jumpsuit, but that’s not going to happen.

The first 2 are historical events and when was the last time the JFK photo made the rounds on every media outlet?
This photo will be used by the left in every election for the next 50 years, and will be used by Trump until the day he dies.
