Trump complains about 'super bad photo' on Time cover

Donald Trump took issue with Time Magazine’s cover depicting ‘His Triumph’ in the Middle East upon his return from a victory lap visit to Israel and Egypt, The Independent reported.

Returning from Sharm El Sheikh on Tuesday, the U.S. president was concerned that the magazine led with a cover image that “disappeared” his hair and “had something floating on top of my head that looked like a floating crown, but an extremely small one.”

He said the picture “may be the Worst of All Time.”

“Really weird!” he wrote on his Truth Social platform. “I never liked taking pictures from underneath angles, but this is a super bad picture, and deserves to be called out. What are they doing and why?”

Trump granted that Time had written “a relatively good story about me”. The article in question detailed ‘How the Trump administration sealed the Gaza ceasefire deal, referencing envoy Steve Witkoff and advisor Jared Kushner’s “painstaking efforts” to “quiet one of the world's most destabilizing conflicts”.

The deal, the article said, “could become a signature achievement of Trump's second term,” fulfilling his pledge to end the war and paving the way for a “new era” for the region, “defined less by conflict than by the possibility of transformation.”

Time unveiled the cover on Monday as Trump landed in Israel to meet the families of returning hostages and address the Israeli parliament before heading to Sharm el-Sheikh.

The summit in Egypt was aimed at supporting the ceasefire in Gaza, ending the war, and developing a longer-term vision for governing and rebuilding the Palestinian territory.
