US President Donald Trump lashed out at TIME Magazine for its latest cover photo, calling the image that accompanied a story on his Middle East diplomatic success the “Worst of All Time.”
Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!Despite the article, titled “His Triumph,” being “relatively good” and recognizing his role in brokering the Gaza ceasefire and hostage-prisoner exchange, Trump focused his criticism squarely on his appearance.
In a post on Truth Social, Trump complained that the magazine intentionally “disappeared” his hair and that the low-angle shot made it look like he had “something floating on top of my head that looked like a floating crown, but an extremely small one.”
Key Points of the TIME Magazine Issue:
- Diplomatic Achievement: The cover story highlighted the Gaza ceasefire and the major hostage-prisoner exchange between Israel and Hamas as a potential “signature achievement of Trump’s second term” and a “strategic turning point” for the region.
- The Deal: The agreement secured the release of 20 Israeli hostages in exchange for approximately 2,000 Palestinian prisoners and the remains of roughly 360 Palestinians.
- Nobel Peace Prize Calls: The success of the ceasefire deal has prompted multiple world leaders, including Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, to call for Trump’s nomination for the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize.
Trump concluded his criticism by calling the unflattering picture a “super bad picture” that “deserves to be called out,” suggesting the magazine’s choice was deliberate.
