Trump Blasts Time Cover Photo After Magazine Hails Gaza Ceasefire Deal

The president says a low-angle, backlit image distorted his appearance, underscoring how visual framing can eclipse policy coverage.

Overview

  • Time unveiled a cover titled "His Triumph" featuring a low-angle, backlit photo of President Trump, who called it "the Worst of All Time" and claimed it "disappeared" his hair and suggested a tiny crown.
  • The accompanying feature credits Trump with brokering a Gaza ceasefire and prisoner exchange, including the release of all 20 living Israeli hostages and roughly 1,900–2,000 Palestinian detainees.
  • Trump posted his criticism after visits to Tel Aviv and Jerusalem and a signing summit in Sharm el-Sheikh, where leaders formalized the deal.
  • Supporters and allied commentators denounced the photo choice on social media and shared edited or alternative covers portraying Trump more flatteringly.
  • Outlets reported Time had not immediately offered substantive comment on the criticism, and the dust-up fits Trump’s pattern of publicly attacking unflattering images.
