Trump Slams Time Magazine Cover as “Worst of All Time”

UPDATE: President Donald Trump is voicing his outrage over a “super bad” photo of him featured on the cover of Time Magazine, calling it the “Worst of All Time.” In a post on Truth Social, Trump criticized the magazine’s November 10 cover, which highlights his mediation efforts in a recent peace deal involving Israel and Gaza, yet features a photo he deems unflattering.

The cover story commends Trump’s role in brokering a ceasefire and a prisoner exchange, but Trump claims the image distorts his appearance. “They ‘disappeared’ my hair and included something that looks like a floating crown,” he remarked, expressing his disdain for photos taken from below. He emphasized that this particular picture is “really weird” and deserves attention for its poor quality.

The controversial cover has sparked widespread discussion online. Trump shared the image on X (formerly Twitter), stating, “The living Israeli hostages held in Gaza have been freed under the first phase of my peace plan.” The deal could become a hallmark of Trump’s anticipated second term in office, marking a pivotal moment for Middle Eastern relations.

Responses to the cover have ranged from ridicule to praise. Some X users criticized the photo choice, with one quipping, “I could have taken a better picture with my flip phone.” In stark contrast, others lauded the image’s dramatic angle and lighting, describing it as the “most visually powerful cover since 2016.”

Adding to the controversy, Maria Zakharova, director of information at Russia’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, condemned the cover on Telegram, suggesting that only “sick people” could have chosen such a photo.

As the debate continues, the Journal has reached out to Time Magazine for further comments on the backlash. This incident highlights not just Trump’s ongoing media battles but also the polarized reactions surrounding his presidency and foreign policy efforts.
