Too bad they didn’t give him a drug screen as well.

Nope. Too much hair, too little brain.

his mugshot is perfect,

My suspicion is that this photo might not be accepted as a passport or driving licence photo. He should not have been allowed to point his face downwards and look up at the camera - he should have been instructed to hold he head level and look straight ahead at the camera - with a neutral (face relaxed) expression. Allowing that scowling, looking-up-through-his-eyelids, pose is certainly a bit of a PR coup from his perspective.

He wanted to go with this, but the room lighting was too bright.

I suspect that most police photographers would have ordered him to lift his chin up instead of posing like a bad actor who needs a glamour shot showing off his emotional range. A mug shot is supposed to clearly show the features of the face under normal lighting conditions, isn’t it? That’s what the Pinkertons were after. Once again, Trump was treated with kid gloves and predictably took advantage of it.

As an aside I love the backstory behind the famous Karsh portrait of a scowling Churchill:

Karsh photographed the great wartime leader on a visit to the Canadian House of Commons in Ottawa. In a moment of boldness, Karsh snatched a cigar from Churchill’s mouth. ‘By the time I got back to my camera,’ he later recalled, ‘he looked so belligerent he could have devoured me.’

(This is not what Trump looks like.)

Maybe its size in photographs is determined automatically, based on the size of the subject’s hands?

The original was stolen from the Château Laurier hotel in Ottawa in 2022. Have they checked Mar-a-Lago? It’s probably hanging beside the bathroom mirror. You can see TFG has been practising, raised eyebrow and all, but you can’t fake character that easily.

He’s got a questionable understanding of English and/or what his actions demonstrate, too:

45 blusters, sets the media stage, and surrenders. Then he tweets something like this…
