doesn’t even look like a mug shot.

if he was standing in front of the standard lines with the square neckless with name and numbers it would be distinctive.  That photo looks like a standard issue whitehouse portrait photo

This is a novel choice, but I bet you could show that photo to people and they wouldn't understand what the significance was.  Or what is was or that they've ever ever seen it.

Everyone is gonna know the Trump photo.

I am willing to bet if you showed that photo to 100 Americans in 20 years a significant majority would recognize Trump but not the reason for the photo.

Even today I bet you could show that photo any many people will say Trump, but not why.

Maybe one day it will have the fame it needs, but I believe it’s the most important photo ever taken.

Other options “the little blue dot”and that Vietnamese girl running from the napalm

On a similar note, I'd put these up there with the most important historical photos:

The Blue Marble (1972):



The fall of the Berlin Wall (1989):



Along with something from September 11th 2001.

I can guarantee you that on a comparative scale, not that many people outside of the USA gives a crap about a mugshot of Trump.

The point I was making is that there are many pictures of Earth from space, or 9/11, or the Berlin Wall falling.  But there's only one mugshot of the former President of the United States.

The mug shot is underwhelming, it just looks like a portrait.  It doubt it will be nearly as iconic as Nixon’s helicopter photo. .

The Nixon image is one of the few discussed that are THE photo for a specific moment.  His leaving the presidency is defined by that one photo.
