Trump’s Controversial Peace Deal Lands Time Magazine Cover Amidst Photo Dispute
Time Magazine’s latest issue has sparked considerable discussion by featuring Donald Trump on its cover, labeling it as a “triumph” for his role in facilitating peace between Israel and Hamas. However, Trump has voiced dissatisfaction with the magazine’s choice of image, criticizing it on social media.
Trump’s Reaction to Time Magazine Cover
On Tuesday, Trump expressed his displeasure over the photo used for the cover story. He described it as “the worst photo of all time,” claiming it distorted his appearance. Specifically, he remarked on Truth Social about how the image inaccurately represented his hair and featured an odd floating shape above his head. Trump reiterated his dislike for pictures taken from below, labeling this particular image as “super bad.”
The Context of the Cover Story
The magazine’s cover comes after a significant breakthrough in ongoing tensions. On Monday, 20 living hostages were released after more than two years of captivity following Hamas’s attack on October 7, 2023. In return, Israel agreed to release approximately 2,000 Palestinian prisoners and the remains of around 360 Palestinians.
