WASHINGTON, DC: TIME Magazine's cover on Monday, October 13, which celebrated President Donald Trump's Gaza ceasefire deal has infuriated the president's supporters.

President Donald Trump called the visual “super bad photo” even as the accompanying story praised his Middle East peace efforts. 



 

The president went on to call the image as “the Worst of All Time,” taking a jibe at the magazine’s photo while many online observers across social media complained that the photo on the cover was "really weird." 

Trump supporters condemn TIME's editors for poor photo choice

Social media users while condemning the editors's choice, claimed that they could have done it better and argued that the image unfairly made him look bald by "disappearing" his signature hair. 

A user wrote on X (formerly Twitter), "Out of thousands available pictures this is the one Times chooses...? smh..."



 

Another user added, "Your editorial staff blew it with the photo selection. In an attempt to make the POTUS look bad, you made @TIME look even worse than they ever have."



 

"Here's a picture Time should have used. Strong Tough and always Cool," another user slammed the magazine by posting an edited picture of Trump.



 

While another added,"@TIME you should be ashamed of using the most unflattering photo you could find, taken at an odd angle, to try & humiliate President Trump. You just humiliated yourself, demonstrating how low you would stoop."



 

"You guys chose the most unflattering picture…you are part of the problem…Grok fixed it!" said one Trump fan.



 

"DO BETTER @TIME. Your cover photo editors should be demoted for their obvious vitriol and pathetic partisan bias," read another critical tweet. 



 

A person stated, "Dear Time, isn’t time you act like a responsible magazine? You picked the worst picture of the greatest leader on the world. You look unprofessional. I’m not buying it. I will find a better publication that respects the President of peace."



 

Trump calls TIME Magazine cover picture 'worst of all time'

Donald Trump called out the magazine's picture as a “super bad photo” that made him look “weird.”

He said, "Time Magazine wrote a relatively good story about me, but the picture may be the Worst of All Time. It disappeared my hair and had something floating on top of my head that looked like a floating crown, but an extremely small one.”
