Trump says Time picked the “worst photo of all time.”
President Donald Trump blasted Time magazine Tuesday for what he called the “worst photo of all time,” accusing the outlet of deliberately choosing an unflattering shot for a cover story about “his triumph” in securing the release of Israeli hostages from Hamas.
“Time Magazine wrote a relatively good story about me, but the picture may be the Worst of All Time,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
“They ‘disappeared’ my hair, and then had something floating on top of my head that looked like a floating crown, but an extremely small one. Really weird!” he said.
“I never liked taking pictures from underneath angles, but this is a super bad picture, and deserves to be called out.”
Trump argued the magazine intentionally selected the image to undercut a profile praising his Middle East diplomacy.
“What are they doing, and why?” he asked.

The issue hit stands after 20 Israeli hostages were freed Monday — more than two years after Hamas’ October 7, 2023 attack. In exchange, Israel released about 2,000 Palestinian prisoners and the remains of roughly 360 Palestinians, officials confirmed.
