Overview

• Trump complained on Truth Social that a TIME cover photo had “disappeared” his hair and called it the “Worst of All Time.”
• The Mirror and Daily Star showcased AI images generated with Midjourney that imagine the president completely bald.
• Descriptions of the AI results note a glossy scalp with stray strands, visible ear hair, faint sideburn shadows, and a Lex Luthor-like profile in one image.
• Coverage explains the apparent thinning on the actual cover photo as a lighting and angle effect rather than any change to Trump’s hair.
• Context recalls Trump’s long-running hair discourse, including a 2015 joke about proving it is real, a 2016 stylist’s denial of plugs, and expert commentary on his combed style.
