Trump Slams "Worst Photo of All Time" on Time Magazine Cover Amid Gaza Ceasefire Success

US President Donald Trump expressed strong disapproval of his portrayal on the recent Time magazine cover, specifically criticizing how his hair appears to have "disappeared" in the photograph.

While acknowledging the article itself as "relatively good," Trump didn't hold back his criticism of the image, describing it as the "worst photo of all time." He elaborated on social media platform Truth Social: "They 'disappeared' my hair, and then had something floating on top of my head that looked like a floating crown, but an extremely small one. Really weird! 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?"

This isn't the first time Trump has criticized Time magazine. Earlier in February, he reacted negatively to a Time photograph showing Elon Musk, then Chief of the Department of Government Efficiency, seated at the Oval Office's Resolute Desk. "Is Time magazine still in business? I didn't even know that," Trump remarked at the time, though he did praise Musk's work performance.

The controversial cover, titled 'His Triumph', coincided with Trump being credited for facilitating a Gaza ceasefire and hostage exchange agreement, which temporarily halted the Israel-Hamas conflict that began on October 7, 2023. The deal resulted in the release of 20 Israeli hostages on Monday, while Israel freed approximately 2,000 Palestinian prisoners and returned the remains of about 360 Palestinians, according to officials.

Following this diplomatic achievement, Israel reiterated support for Trump receiving a Nobel Peace Prize in 2026, an honor the President had desired this year based on his claims of resolving multiple global conflicts.
