Trump Shares Black-and-White Football Jersey Photo on Truth Social
Trump posts a vintage-style image of a young man wearing a number 24 football jersey in what appears to be a sideline setting.
WASHINGTON D.C. — Donald J. Trump posted a black-and-white photograph of a young man wearing an American football jersey on Truth Social.
The image shows a figure in a mesh-style number 24 jersey standing on what appears to be a football sideline. The young man, photographed in profile, has short, light-colored hair and an athletic build. White athletic tape or wristbands are visible on both wrists, and a Champion brand logo appears near the bottom hem of the jersey. Other individuals are partially visible in the background, suggesting a game-day setting.

This is Trump’s 18th message released today, and the last post was 7 hours ago, and it is not part of a thread. On average, Trump produces 18 posts per day since his inauguration on January 20, 2025. The move fits a broader pattern in Trump’s recent messaging, with 149 of his 593 posts over the last 30 days classified as image-only posts.
The post contained no caption or accompanying text. The jersey’s mesh style and the photograph’s grain are consistent with American football uniforms from the 1980s or early 1990s. Trump did not identify the person in the image or provide context for the post.
The identity of the person pictured remains unconfirmed. No additional details accompanied the image, and Trump offered no explanation for sharing the photograph.

President Trump is the author of The Art of the Deal, Think Like a Billionaire, and Think Big. Analyst and Trump supporter Rod Martin points to The Art of the Deal, Trump's 1987 book, as an explanation of his deal-making philosophy: making big announcements, pivoting often in public statements and, Martin says, ultimately getting what he wanted all along. Critics contend that Trump's books were published decades ago or were aimed at making money, not shedding light. "Generally," Martin said, "critics don't read The Art of the Deal. If they did, they would understand."
