Former White House spokesman Jeremy Edwards, who worked under the Biden administration, posted photos of his LinkedIn work experience on X, saying anyone who visits his page will now see Trump’s face.

“I guess that’s what I get for using LinkedIn,” Edwards said on X.
White House Director of Communications Steven Cheung reposted Edwards’s statement on X, saying, “that’s the whole point, dummy.”
Geoffrey U.L. Preudhomme Jr., another alumni of the previous administration, also highlighted the change, encouraging his former colleagues to change their icons to “the Biden-Harris White House.”
