What an amazingly fragile person.

[–] PriorityMotif@lemmy.world 75 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I wish he didn't look so much like my grandma

[–] Biskii@lemmy.dbzer0.com 24 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Great, now I can't unsee it

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 9 points 6 days ago (1 children)

You can't unsee their grandma?

[–] Biskii@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 6 days ago (1 children)
[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 11 points 6 days ago (1 children)

You know, if I squint a little and turn my head to the side, I can see it now. He does look very much like @PriorityMotif's grandma.

[–] Biskii@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 6 days ago

It's kind of scary

[–] DarkDecay@lemmy.world 37 points 6 days ago (2 children)

That's something an old person would do. This all checks out

Working in a store and being known locally as the “tech guy”, you would be surprised how many young people (mostly girls) have handed me their phone and the lock screen and background pics are selfies.

If it’s a man with a pic of himself it’s usually with something he identifies with. A tractor, a guitar, a game collection, a truck or car, guns. Shit like that.

Donald Trump identifies with Donald Trump and MAGA hats. It has nothing to do with making America great either. Maga is just a word now, and that word means Donald Trump.

Even more simple than that its what a narcissist would do.

Donald Trump's wallpaper is a picture of ~~himself~~ a well known rapist

[–] toiletobserver@lemmy.world 12 points 6 days ago

You sir are technically correct, the best kind of correct

Of fucking course it is.

[–] Sanctus@lemmy.world 46 points 6 days ago

That is completely expected.

[–] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 38 points 6 days ago (2 children)

He knows that he can't pull off having the coolest fucking lockscreen of all time:

[–] Contort3860@links.hackliberty.org 8 points 6 days ago (2 children)

Is there some story behind this picture or is it just some random picture?

[–] PopShark@lemmy.world 10 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (2 children)

looks like a circus or something?

Victorian advertising was just weird as fuck in general. Especially the stuff involving kids.

Definitely not a narcissist. Totally normal. We all do that, right? /s

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 31 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Did anybody expect anything less?

I'm still surprised he didn't pick himself as his own vice president candidate.

[–] evidences@lemmy.world 11 points 6 days ago (1 children)

He tried but Pres and VP candidates by law have to be from different states.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 13 points 6 days ago

He's from New York but lives in Florida. No problem, right?

[–] WoahWoah@lemmy.world 16 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

That should surprise exactly no one. Narcissistic cheetolini.

Edit: also, did he sign his own hat?? 🤣

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 25 points 6 days ago

Makes sense. There's nothing in this universe he loves more.

[–] _stranger_@lemmy.world 24 points 6 days ago

Trump, every time he looks at his phone:

I'd elect me.

I'd elect me so hard.

🎵goodbye horses🎵

[–] Dadifer@lemmy.world 16 points 6 days ago (1 children)

You know, I see women with themselves on the lockscreen all the time, but I've never had the nerve to ask why.

[–] PurpleTentacle@lemmy.world 11 points 5 days ago (2 children)

The answer is the same: pathological narcissism.

[–] Entropywins@lemmy.world 6 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Do me next my lockscreen is a Hershey bar

That's just so his handlers can tell him it's his reflection. "How do I look today?" "Great, sir, just look at that reflection!"

[–] OhVenus_Baby@lemmy.ml 14 points 6 days ago (2 children)

My lock screen is black and my wallpaper is black. Less clutter. Less visual noise. Easier to find items.

[–] Aqarius@lemmy.world 9 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Also, depending on the screen, less battery drain.

I prefer having someone far less evil on mine.

[–] sp3tr4l@lemmy.zip 19 points 6 days ago (2 children)

This angle really accentuates his dumptruck ass.

[–] Cagi@lemmy.ca 20 points 6 days ago

That bulk is half diaper.

[–] ElanoidesWahl@slrpnk.net 17 points 6 days ago (1 children)

My boss also has a picture of himself as his wallpaper. 😳

And his fans call trans people narcisistic, for wanting to be respected and not wanting to hear yet another dumb "remedy" for "gender confusion".

[–] theangryseal@lemmy.world 8 points 6 days ago

I don’t understand how any of them can have a problem with narcissists when their god is the living embodiment of narcissism.

[–] SmackemWittadic@lemmy.world 11 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (1 children)

If only this photo was taken a minute later

[–] Manalith@midwest.social 8 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (2 children)

I was focused on the clock from the screenshot trying to figure out what 6:56 meant, then I realized I'm dumb.

[–] drolex@sopuli.xyz 10 points 6 days ago

They're nice. Maybe you're nice too. You know, nice and normal. That's something to aspire to nowadays. Anyway have a great nice day.
