At the age of 78, the president continues to draw attention—particularly in light of Elon Musk’s resignation, who departed from Trump’s Republican administration on May 29.
Controversy persists regarding Trump’s $175 billion missile defense initiative, referred to as the “Golden Dome.” This ambitious endeavor has raised global apprehension.
In addition, Trump has initiated a trade conflict with Canada, even suggesting the possibility of transforming the country into America’s 51st state.
The situation intensified when Trump asserted that Canada was “considering” this notion—something that Canadian officials have neither confirmed nor denied. As if that were not sufficient, the disclosure of his phone wallpaper—a serious image of himself pointing directly at the camera—has ignited online discussions.
Reactions were swift and incisive. One social media user described it as “the most on-brand thing that ever on-branded.” Others ridiculed the lack of family photographs, labeling it as narcissistic. One comment stated, “Not his wife, not his children, not his grandchildren… himself.”
However, not everyone viewed it as an issue. Some contended that many individuals utilize images of themselves. A Medium article even proposed that such decisions signify confidence or self-love. The author noted, “It can be narcissistic, but also a form of self-expression.” For Trump, this seems appropriate—both revered and reviled, always impossible to overlook.
