Donald Trump came bearing gifts when he appeared on Logan Paul's 'Impaulsive' podcast Thursday. 

The former US President arrived on set with T-shirts for the YouTube sensation-turned WWE wrestler and his co-host, Mike Majlak, emblazoned with his mugshot. 

'Is this your mugshot? No way,' Paul exclaimed.


'You're a gangster,' he added. 

The 77-year-old joked that he's been 'reduced' to selling merchandise featuring the August 2023 booking photo amid his ongoing legal woes, noting that 'it sells.'

'Well Elvis had one, Frank Sinatra had one — but we've eclipsed them,' the presumed Republican candidate said, comparing himself to the music legends. 'A long time ago we've eclipsed them.'

The business tycoon turned politician went on, 'I'm not sure if I love it or not, but it is what it is.'

Paul chimed in, 'It happened so you might as well monetize it.'

Elsewhere in the interview, Trump labelled Joe Biden 'the worst president in the history of our country.'

'Biden is just so bad,' he said, before Paul suggested dropping a 'diss track' about him. 

'Yeah, we'll do something,' Trump said matter-of-factly.

Paul left his fans divided after announcing the former president as a podcast guest

A source close to Paul previously told Mail Sport that Trump's camp directly reached out to ask to come on the podcast, as he continues his presidential campaign ahead of the November elections.

The announcement that Trump would be joining the podcast left Paul's fans split, with many excited to listen, and plenty of others outraged that he was giving a convicted felon airtime on his show.

'Logan picking the right team! The team that wants a better country united,' one fan wrote, while another added, 'Amazing, let's go! Trump 2024'

On the opposite side of the fence, many of Paul's regular fans hit out at the YouTube star - who boasts more than 23.5 million subscribers.

'Why would you give him any airtime? Shameful,' one comment read, while another corrected Paul labeling Trump the 'president' by noting: 'Former president. Currently convicted felon awaiting sentencing.' 

On May 30, Trump was found guilty on all 34 charges of falsifying business records in an historic trial at Manhattan Criminal Court. 

Trump is now awaiting sentencing in July, with each of his convictions carrying a maximum potential sentence of up to four years in prison.
