Donald Trump is (as I write this) inside the Fulton County Jail, being processed and booked for the fourth time. This time he's not getting quite such kid-glove treatment, from either the Georgia officials or the media. For the first time, Trump will be fingerprinted and he will have a mugshot taken. Data will be entered (but probably not verified) about Trump's weight and height. Of course, he did arrive with a police and Secret Service escort (and not at the main entrance) and he will not have to sit in a holding tank with other prisoners. The broadcast media isn't going to get much in the way of live shots, which is probably why they didn't cover Trump's flight or even his motorcade in Atlanta. NBC and CBS only cut into their programming when Trump arrived at the jail, and ABC still isn't covering it (I should add that these are just my local affiliates, other stations may have handled it differently). After Trump's three previous surrenders, the media excitement level has been dialed way down.

The other big difference between the first three and this one is that Trump will not be facing a judge today. There will be no arraignment happening. This could come later (first week of September, most likely) however it may be a low-key affair -- the laws of Georgia may allow Trump to just sign a document pleading not guilty rather than having to physically show up. Since Georgia is the only jurisdiction that will definitely have cameras in the courtroom, this means we'll have to wait a lot longer to see Trump sitting in front of a judge on live television, to put this another way.

Since Trump waited until almost primetime to show up at the jail, the media has had a lot of time to twiddle their thumbs today and rehash everything about the Georgia case. The Washington Post ran an article on "other famous mugshots throughout history," but to me the best historical reference came from Michael Beschloss, who tweeted an image of a letter written by Martin Luther King Jr. in 1960 -- from the Fulton County Jail.

Seeing a former president turn himself in at a jail is a historic event, of course -- but it is the fourth in a series of such events. It has become routine.

[I had to pause here, as Trump's booking was a lot shorter than I expected. And in keeping with the brevity, I am going to wrap this up just as quickly.]

Trump exited the building, the motorcade sped off, and all the broadcast networks went back to their regular programming -- before Trump gave a little (one minute or so) speech to the media on the tarmac in front of his plane.

Like I said, it's all become routine. So everyday that the broadcast networks didn't even stick around for the final act.

That more than anything else summed up the day. Trump got booked into jail again. Ho-hum. What else is on?
