CORRECTION: A May fundraising email by former President Trump's campaign mentioned him being "tortured" in the Fulton County jail. Due to an editing error, a previous version of this story included incorrect information.

Former President Trump's campaign in a Monday fundraising email criticized his treatment at the Fulton County Jail in Georgia, saying he was "tortured" while getting his historic mug shot at the jail.

Trump has frequently sought to raise funds from the mug shot, and the email that mentioned the torture was sent out to promote coffee mugs featuring Trump's mug shot.

" I want you to remember what they did to me. They tortured me in the Fulton County Jail, and TOOK MY MUGSHOT. So guess what? I put it on a mug for the WHOLE WORLD TO SEE!" the fundraising email said.

I think we should play this up. He thinks his "torture" endears himself to African Americans.

That having bone spurs is equal to scars from whip lashing? That having to mug for a shot is equal to having to look over your shoulder for a lifetime?

he'd have no skeleton on which to drape his copious amounts of fat and skin... Torture. Sure... take a week of my chronic pain and see what torture can be. Then go to your beloved Russia and check out a gulag.

We could take him waterboarding on the MIssissippi...

We could bounce him off the waves in Maui just for fun!

'Course I'm pretending is all, I'm sure that he'd have a ball!

Gettin' golden on a beach in Cuba... tied to a wall!

May he receive his just desserts in this lifetime.

You would have been actually weighed and had your height without shoes on taken for the record rather than you supplying that info.

Talk about "torture"!

Getting fingerprinted and photographed is akin to visiting the DMV for a new license- some people find it unpleasant but there’s no long-term physical affect
