Trump Trolls All Democratic White House Staffers – and Obama – With Sneaky LinkedIn Move
President Donald Trump managed to troll former President Barack Obama and every single former Democratic staffer who touts their time at the White House on LinkedIn by switching the White House’s page photo with a picture of his own face.
Users first began to notice the change on Tuesday after Obama’s Linkedin profile, where he regularly posts book recommendations and updates, featured a picture of Trump.
The professional networking platform allows users to list out their past work experience and companies they’d worked for, for which the platform automatically pulls an image from the company’s page to populate use’s work history entries.
In Obama’s case, his résumés entry recording his time as “President of the United States” at “The White House” now features Trump’s face – instead of the official White House crest.

Indeed, anyone who tagged the White House as a place of work in the past, including all of former President Joe Biden’s aides, suddenly had Trump stamped across their résumés.
When Jeremy Edwards, an ex-Biden spox, noted the change to his own profile, Trump’s White House Director of Communications Steven Cheung mocked him and confirmed the effort was to troll:
MAGA delighted in the move:
It’s not clear whether there’s a workaround for disgruntled former staffers other than to change their former place of work entirely.
