US President Donald Trump expressed intense displeasure with Time magazine’s cover, remaining thoroughly unsatisfied with his portrayal and characterizing it as the “worst of all time.” Specifically, Trump noted in a post on his Truth Social platform that the magazine wrote a “relatively good story” about him, but “ruined it” by choosing an “unacceptable” photograph. It should be noted that the American president was featured on Time magazine’s cover for his “triumph” regarding the pivotal role he played in the Israel-Hamas peace agreement for Gaza.

Indeed, the reason the American president remained unsatisfied with the cover of Time magazine was due to the less than flattering photograph of him. “They erased my hair and then had something hovering at the top of my head that looked like a floating crown, but extremely small. Really, weird!” he wrote characteristically.

Trump’s disputes with Time
It should be noted that this is not the first time Trump has spoken out against the magazine. In fact, last August he had criticized the magazine’s cover again because it featured Elon Musk sitting behind the Resolute Desk in the Oval Office. Moreover, as reported by uniindia.com, he did not hesitate to mock the magazine’s relevance, wondering: “Is Time magazine still in operation? I didn’t even know that.”
