Trump was photographed exiting Air Force One on Friday, and the internet couldn't help but notice what the lock screen photo on his phone was.

After President Donald Trump was photographed exiting Air Force One on Friday, people couldn't help but notice that the lock screen photo on his phone was very much "on-brand" and tells us more about him than we think.

While greeting photographers, Trump inadvertently revealed his phone's lock screen—a photo of himself making his trademark finger-pointing gesture. The image, quickly picked up by observers, drew attention for what some saw as a characteristically self-referential choice.


Don't be too surprised: Trump isn't known for humility. As Democratic activist Harry Sisson pointed out, the photo qualifies as "one of the most narcissistic, self-absorbed things you've ever seen."

This isn’t the first time Trump’s phone lock screen has drawn attention online.

Social media users previously pointed out the same image in 2023, when he was photographed golfing, according to BuzzFeed. The photo resurfaced as a topic of discussion in 2024, after observers noticed the identical lock screen in an image that appeared to be taken aboard Air Force One.

So yeah... this all tracks.


In a recent piece for Florida Today, Rev. David J. Bergner—a retired priest and clinician—said Trump "has the personality disorder we in the helping professions call narcissism." He pointed out that "a person with a narcissistic personality disorder has only one frame of reference, himself (or herself if a woman)."

He added:

"His opinions are the only ones that count. If he is wrong on something, for example, the efficacy of vaccinating children, he will never admit it. His ego is too fragile to take responsibility for any of his mistaken positions." ...
"From my clinical practice I know that narcissists don’t change. Their behavior may change but only if enough people stand up to them and insist they take another course."

Take it from the experts.

'No Kings' Protester Killed In Salt Lake City Was Fashion Designer Who Competed On 'Project Runway'

A man who was shot and killed Saturday at a “No Kings” protest in Salt Lake City, Utah, has been identified as Samoan fashion designer and former Project Runway contestant Arthur Folasa Ah Loo, prompting fans around the country to share their condolences.

The 39-year-old head of the Afa Ah Loo fashion house died at a local hospital shortly after peacekeepers fired on a man who had brandished a rifle at protesters during the protest; officials detained two men who were part of the event's "peacekeeping team" after one of the "peacekeepers" allegedly fired the shot that injured and ultimately killed Ah Loo.
