Overview

• Time’s latest cover, headlined “His Triumph,” presents the Gaza deal as a potential signature achievement of President Trump’s second term and a strategic turning point for the region.
• Trump posted on Truth Social that the low-angle portrait “made my hair disappear” and showed a tiny floating crown, calling it “the worst photo of all time.”
• Time credited freelance photographer Graeme Sloan for the image, which was shot from below with sunlight diffusing through Trump’s hair.
• Reports link the cover to an agreement mediated by the United States with Qatar, Turkey and Egypt that ended more than two years of fighting and began with freeing living Israeli hostages alongside a Palestinian prisoner release.
• Joe Biden publicly praised the outcome and congratulated Trump, as the president promotes a reconstruction-focused next phase for Gaza.
