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.
I was wondering about this phenomenon yesterday. A female coworker handed me her phone and it was a mirror selfie which I didn't think anything of at first, but it slowly dawned on me how odd I would find that had it been a man doing it. Can't really think of a good reason why that is but I guess it's just a weird cultural thing.
Even more simple than that its what a narcissist would do.
