Donald Trump still hasn’t changed his bizarre phone lock screen, and the internet is poking fun at how “on-brand” it is for the president.
The discourse began after photos of Trump holding his phone while leaving Air Force One on Friday started making the rounds on the internet over the weekend.

If you look closely at the snapshots, you can see the president’s phone lock screen in question — a picture of Trump himself doing his signature finger-pointing pose.

Social media users on X, formerly Twitter, had a lot to say about the “self-absorbed” power move.
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. Wtf… pic.twitter.com/Ge2h9KqpTF

Another X user remarked that Trump is the “G.O.A.T. at trolling” (using the acronym for “greatest of all time”) after the former reality TV star ruffled the internet’s feathers with the screen image.

This isn’t the first time social media users have raised an eyebrow over Trump’s phone lock screen, which was spotted displaying this same background in 2023 while he was golfing, BuzzFeed reports.
Trump was criticized again for the image in 2024 after eagle-eyed social media users noticed his phone lock screen in a photo that appeared to be taken on Air Force One.

“Of course. Trump’s cell phone lock screen background image is a picture of himself. Not his wife, not his children, not his grandchildren … himself,” an X user said at the time.
