Donald Trump Criticizes Time Magazine Over Controversial Photo

Donald Trump has publicly criticized Time magazine for what he deems an unfavorable portrayal of him on its upcoming cover. The November 10 issue features a photograph of the US President taken from a low angle, with the caption “His Triumph.” This cover story discusses the ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas, framing it as a potential significant accomplishment of Trump’s second term.

Trump’s Response to the Cover Photo

Upon returning to the United States from a summit in Egypt focused on the Gaza conflict, Trump took to his Truth Social platform to express his discontent. He labeled the cover image as “may be the Worst of All Time” and described various aspects he found peculiar.

  • Trump accused the magazine of altering his appearance, claiming they “disappeared” his hair.
  • He noted an odd element that resembled a small floating crown on his head.
  • He expressed a general dislike for photographs taken from below, calling the image “super bad.”

Time Magazine’s Coverage

Despite his critique of the cover photo, Trump acknowledged that the accompanying article was “relatively good.” However, he questioned the publication’s motives behind selecting such an unflattering image. As of now, Time magazine has not issued a response regarding Trump’s comments.

This incident highlights the ongoing tensions between the media and political figures, particularly as major narratives unfold in the lead-up to the 2024 elections.
