Trump may have violated copyright law by selling mugshot merchandise
Merchandise emblazoned with the historic photo and the slogan “Never surrender” was quickly hawked for between $12 and $34.Within just three days, the Trump campaign made $7.1 million off the merch, which included T-shirts, mugs, koozies and bumper stickers.
