Overview

• Posting on Truth Social, the president called the picture "the Worst of All Time," saying editors "disappeared" his hair and made it look like a tiny "floating crown" hovered above his head.
• TIME’s Nov. 10 cover, headlined "His Triumph," uses a low-angle, backlit shot of Trump and accompanies a feature that credits his team with brokering the ceasefire’s first phase.
• The plan’s opening phase saw Hamas free the 20 remaining living Israeli hostages as Israel released over 1,900 Palestinian prisoners, with the accord signed in Sharm el‑Sheikh on Monday.
• Reporting notes unresolved issues, including the return of deceased hostages’ remains—only a few have been repatriated so far—and questions about Gaza’s governance and enforcement of the deal.
• TIME had not immediately responded to requests for comment on Trump’s complaint, while allies and critics flooded social media with reactions and alternate or doctored cover images.
