Trump Blasts TIME Magazine Over ‘Worst Ever’ Photo of Him
When Donald Trump helped broker what many are calling a historic cease-fire between Israel and Hamas — a deal being hailed as a turning point in Middle Eastern relations — the world took notice. Then he got sidetracked by the cover photo of the magazine praising him.But wait until you see the photo that started it all 👇
In the cover story titled “His Triumph” by TIME, Trump’s behind-the-scenes diplomacy is spotlighted: intensive talks involving his team, global leaders, and the release of hundreds of Palestinian prisoners — all signalling a step toward regional stability.
Yet despite the positive tone of the text, Trump’s reaction zeroed in on the imagery. On his platform he wrote: “TIME Magazine wrote a relatively good story about me, but the picture may be the Worst of All Time.” He criticised the low-angle shot which he says made his blond hair disappear and added a strange “floating crown”.
So you have a dramatic moment in global diplomacy — and a photo controversy over hair and angle. In short: big win, weird image. Trump insisted: “I’m good at solving wars. I’m good at making peace.” And yet he hardly overlooked what he saw as a poor depiction of his image. Whether you focus on the peace deal or the picture, this story has both gravitas and a side-show.
