Trump slams Time magazine photo as "Worst of All Time"

President Trump on Tuesday criticized Time magazine's cover photo of him. The big picture: Trump's brokering of the Gaza peace deal has generated bipartisan praise with Time's November 10 issue calling Trump's role in the deal "his triumph." Driving the news: The publication revealed its cover on Monday, and Trump praised the story but had gripes with the photo."Time Magazine wrote a relatively good story about me, but the picture may be the Worst of All Time," Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform on Tuesday."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!" "I never liked taking pictures from underneath angles, but this is a super bad picture, and deserves to be called out," he said. Time did not respond to an immediate request for comment.What's inside: "The deal could become a signature achievement of Trump's second term," Time correspondent Eric Cortellessa wrote in the cover story. What they're saying: Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova also denounced the cover, writing on Telegram that the choice of photo was "astonishing." "Only unhealthy people, people obsessed with malice and hatred — perhaps even freaks — could have chosen such a photo," she said. The intrigue: Russia has been attempting to appeal to the Trump admin amid strained relations with the U.S. over Russia's war with Ukraine. The other side: California Gov. Gavin Newsom, who has taken to trolling Trump on social media, reposted the cover photo on X with Trump's neck censored. Catch up quick: A peace agreement was reached between Israel and Hamas last week. In the first phase, Israel will partially withdraw its troops from Gaza, and Hamas will release the remaining hostages, Trump said.The breakthrough comes two years after Hamas' Oct. 7 attack, with Israel's military destroying Gaza almost entirely and killing more than 67,000 Palestinians, according to the Gaza health ministry.Despite the deal, however, the shooting hasn't stopped entirely, with Israeli forces killing seven Palestinians in a drone strike Tuesday morning. Trump told Axios this weekend that the deal "could be the biggest thing I was ever involved in."Editor's note: This story has been updated to add comments from Russia and California Gov. Newsom.
