TIME magazine featured U.S. President Donald Trump on its cover following his role in brokering a ceasefire agreement between Israel and Palestine. The historic deal led to Israel withdrawing from Gaza and hostages being returned, earning Trump praise\u2014even from critics\u2014for helping bring relief to the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, Trump\u2019s reaction to the magazine cover was far from grateful. On his Truth Social account, he blasted the image as the \u201cWorst of All Time,\u201d complaining that the lighting made his hair \u201cdisappear\u201d and that it looked like he had a \u201ctiny floating crown\u201d on his head. He called the low-angle photo \u201cweird\u201d and questioned why the editors chose such an unflattering shot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Professional photographers soon joined the debate, calling the cover \u201cdeliberate\u201d and \u201cdisrespectful.\u201d Some accused TIME of purposely choosing a bad photo to mock the president, arguing that no professional would normally shoot \u201cup the nostrils\u201d of a world leader. Others said the composition was \u201cevil\u201d and \u201cmeant to humiliate.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Despite the controversy over the image, TIME defended its editorial choice, noting that the cover was meant to capture Trump in a symbolic light\u2014literally and politically\u2014as \u201cThe leader Israel needed.\u201d While the photo sparked outrage online, it also ensured that, once again, Trump was at the center of both political praise and media firestorms.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
