The sources support the mugshot (Fulton County, August 2023), the criminal trial (hush-money conviction), and being shot (July 2024 assassination attempt, with a bullet striking his ear). No source addresses a fine, so that element is unconfirmed rather than contradicted, and the extraction faithfully reflects the passage.
What was said
… This show's not for you. You paid me for a job, and that job now and then was to tell you the truth. There are some people that don't want that, and when you vote back in because you believe Donald Trump, who's been mug shoted for you, tried for you, fined for you, shot for you, you believe him and his lieutenants out there are the cause of your problems. It's okay. I can't help you, and that's okay. That's okay. …
The Dan Bongino Show · · from the transcriptPost →What we found
Supports. Trump was booked at the Fulton County Jail in Atlanta in August 2023 and had a mug shot taken and released, which the BBC, CNN, NBC and others report.[4][5][6][7]
Supports. Snopes reports that Trump was tried in the hush-money case, where he became the first former U.S. president convicted of a felony.[1]
Supports. Snopes reports that Trump was struck in the ear by a bullet during the July 2024 assassination attempt, and the DOJ and AP confirm Ryan Routh was convicted of attempting to assassinate him.[1][2][3]
Context. No source addresses Trump being fined. The $200,000 bail bond is not a fine, so this element is unconfirmed rather than contradicted.[4][8]
Context. The extracted claim is a literal restatement of the post's rhetorical line ('mug shoted for you, tried for you, fined for you, shot for you'), so it does not add content the post lacks.
