Donald Trump has a tantrum over his ‘worst photo ever’ with ‘disappearing hair’
While Donald Trump basks in the glory of the Gaza ceasefire agreement, his pride in his involvement in the peace plan has been tarnished by Time Magazine’s cover, which he said presented “a very bad image.”
US President Donald Trump has made headlines around the world over his plans to bring peace to Gaza, but he strongly objected to a magazine cover story.
After Trump visited Israel to free hostages and prisoners from Gaza and Israel as part of the recent ceasefire agreement, he signed a declaration in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt, alongside 20 other world leaders.
Time magazine published an edition hailing the events as “his triumph” and detailing how his administration had gone to great lengths to try to secure peace. Despite the accompanying celebratory article, POTUS was very offended by the photo the publication chose to use on its cover.

The image was taken looking at the 79-year-old’s face as he looks into the distance with a serious expression. He wears a smart navy suit, white shirt and red tie, but the president is far from impressed.
“Time Magazine wrote a relatively good story on me, but the photo might be the worst ever,” he said Tuesday on Truth Social. He added: “They made my hair disappear, then floated something above my head that looked like a floating crown, but extremely small.”
He described the cover as “really weird” and continued: “I’ve never liked taking photos from angles, but this is a really bad photo and deserves to be called out. What are they doing and why?”
The article itself said the deal could go down in history as “a landmark achievement of Trump’s second term” and that it represented a “strategic turning point” for the Middle East. He also highlighted his administration’s “painstaking efforts” to secure the ceasefire agreement and “calm one of the world’s most destabilizing conflicts.”
Trump is known to be a fan of the magazine and first appeared on its cover in 1989. He has won Person of the Year twice.
In 2016, he told NBC how important the honor was to him: “To be on the cover of Time as Person of the Year is a huge honor,” he said. “It means a lot, especially when I grew up reading Time magazine. And, you know, it’s a very important magazine.”
However, a year before, when he was running for office for the first time, he lamented not making the cover. German Chancellor Angela Merkel received the award, which infuriated her.
“I told you @TIME Magazine would never pick me as person of the year, even though I’m the favorite,” he fumed at the time. “They chose someone who will ruin Germany.”
