A "prank" is putting it softly. It's large scale propaganda, and it's probably even more effective than dropping leaflets from an airplane.

People love their phones, and I mean really, really love their phones. If the phone don't like Trump, then the owner won't like Trump either. And only people triggered by racism would be typing that word in the first place.
