President Donald Trump’s lockscreen is going viral.
While exiting Air Force One last Friday, photographers captured a glimpse of Trump’s lockscreen, which shows a seemingly enhanced portrait of himself pointing to the camera. One picture had even caught a glimpse of a text from Roger Stone, one of Trump’s closest political advisors.
One social media user, who goes by the name “johnny maga,” posted a photograph of the lock screen with the caption “Goes hard.”
Benny Johnson, a conservative commentator, posted the screen on X with the fire emoji.
But other users had quite the opposite reaction.
“Trump having a photo of himself on his lock screen is the Trumpiest thing ever,” journalist James Surowiecki wrote on X.
“Just imagine what you’d say to a friend of yours if you saw that on his lock screen he had a picture of himself pointing at the camera,” he wrote in a separate post.
George Conway, a prominent Trump critic once heavily involved in Republican politics, added on X, “In Greek mythology, Narcissus fell in love with his own reflection in a pool of water.”
“Trump’s lock screen was spotted on his phone last night—and it was a photo of himself. Is that not one of the most narcissistic, self-absorbed things you’ve ever seen??? Not his family, not his kids, but himself,” Harry Sisson, a liberal social media influencer, posted on X.
Sisson had also posted a TikTok to his 1.8 million followers reacting to the image.
“Do you know how narcissistic you have to be to want yourself to be your phone screen? Just like constantly looking at yourself. Normal people have a photo of themselves and others, like their family, or their friends, or maybe them and their pet, or something along those lines,” he said. “No, no… in Donald Trump’s world, it’s constant him."
Another user, journalist Aaron Rupar, wrote that “having a photo of yourself is actually cringe.”
Trump has at least had the same background since 2023, after he was pictured with it while riding in a golf cart, and again the next year while with content creators Nelk on Air Force One. – nj.com/Tribune News Service
