Embarrassing for Don but unsurprising.
Now, that there are other people in the millions who would also put Don on their phones, walls, and shrines is beyond embarrassing for the USA.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

I'm kind of surprised it's not his daughter.
That's in a different folder
"Stuff"
“Totally not porn”
"Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull"
I'm not surprised it's not his wife.
I'm surprised you'd think that he and Melania are on speaking terms.
Watching her degrade and snipe at him has been one of the few pleasures of the Trump Era.
re-read my comment
silly me
This is not surprising, but funny because it's so on brand as to make you go "of course that's his wallpaper. Of course."
I asked my SO what she thought his wallpaper might be. First answer: himself.
You should see what he jerks off to.
We've already seen pictures of his daughter.
If you think he can still kick start that mushroom I have a very relieved eastern European total legal immigrant to sell you.
That's just so he remembers it's his phone. "Hey, that's me, pointing at me!"
Based and dementiapilled
Why is his smile so off-putting? Is this the first time I've actually seen it?
Because it’s not genuine.
He looks like Grandma
How do we know that's his phone and not one belonging to one of those youtubers on the plane?
There's another photo of him with Sen. Eric Schmitt of Missouri on a flight, and his phone is on the table there, too. That photo is more recent: it's from October 5 of this year.
From the article:
If you zoom in on the phone at the table you can see Trump has that wallpaper of himself pointing at the camera. It’s much more difficult to see than the images going viral this week on social media, but it’s definitely the same wallpaper.
