Trump Slams Time Magazine Over “Worst of All Time” Cover Photo

 

President Donald Trump has taken aim at Time Magazine after its latest cover featured what he described as a “super bad picture” of him. The cover accompanied a story highlighting his administration’s role in brokering a ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas, which the magazine itself framed as a diplomatic success.

Despite praising the article as “relatively good,” Trump blasted the photo on his Truth Social platform, claiming it made his hair appear to “disappear” and showed “something floating on top of my head that looked like a floating crown, but an extremely small one.” He went on to call the image “the Worst of All Time” and criticized the angle of the shot, saying he has “never liked taking pictures from underneath.”

The controversy comes as Trump seeks to spotlight his foreign policy achievements, particularly the Gaza ceasefire agreement, which has been described as a significant diplomatic breakthrough. Still, the president’s focus on the magazine’s choice of imagery underscores his long-running sensitivity to media portrayals.
