President Donald Trump has expressed strong discontent with Time Magazine's new cover photo of him, calling it “the worst of all time.” On his Truth Social platform, he noted, “Time Magazine wrote a relatively good story about me, but the picture may be the Worst of All Time,” referring to how the photo “disappeared” his hair and presented him in an awkward angle. The photo, taken from below, has been criticized by Trump for its portrayal, which he describes as “weird” and unflattering, questioning, “What are they doing, and why?” according to The Hill and SCMP.
The Time article, published on October 10, highlights Trump's role in brokering a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, marking a potential turnaround in Middle Eastern diplomacy. Trump emphasized his involvement in the negotiations that have led to the release of Israeli hostages and Palestinian prisoners, calling the agreement “a measure of redemption” for his administration. The article mentions that his efforts could become a defining achievement in his second term as President, according to India Times.
Social media has reacted vigorously to Trump's complaints about the Time cover photo, with users debating whether the image was an intentional dig or a poorly chosen tribute to his diplomatic efforts. The discourse includes various opinions, from critique of Trump's focus on his image to support for his leadership. Mixed sentiments have emerged, with some supporters defending him against what they perceive as unflattering media treatment, according to Time Magazine, The Hill, and SCMP.
