President Donald Trump is not a fan of his Time magazine cover story photo .
Time posted the cover for the upcoming Nov. 10 issue on X, which features a photo of Trump taken from low down with the sun creating a halo effect where his hair blurs into the light . It features three titles: "His triumph," "The leader Israel needed," and "How Gaza heals." The X post links to a story about how the ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas could be a signature achievement in Trump's second term.
But Trump took to Truth Social in the early hours of the morning as he flew back to the U.S. from Egypt to criticize the picture.
"Time Magazine wrote a relatively good story about me, but the picture may be the Worst of All Time. 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," Trump wrote. "Really weird! I never liked taking pictures from underneath angles, but this is a super bad picture, and deserves to be called out. What are they doing, and why?"
Time did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the November cover.
This is far from Trump's first time on the cover of the magazine. The February 2025 cover was an illustration of Trump swiping things off the desk in the Oval Office with the caption " He's back ." In May 2025, the cover featured a close-up portrait of him looking into the camera with the title, " Dealing with it. "
Trump was also named " 2024 Person of the Year " by Time.
"Since he began running for president in 2015, perhaps no single individual has played a larger role in changing the course of politics and history than Trump," editor-in-chief Sam Jacobs wrote at the time.
Trump previously upset about his portrait in Colorado
In March, a portrait of President Donald Trump hung by state Republicans in the Colorado Capitol six years prior was removed after the president raged against it on social media.
“Nobody likes a bad picture or painting of themselves, but the one in Colorado, in the State Capitol, put up by the Governor, along with all other Presidents, was purposefully distorted to a level that even I, perhaps, have never seen before,” Trump wrote on Truth Social at the time, but provided no explanation as to why he thought it was distorted.
The potrait's artist Sarah A. Boardman, told The Denver Post when the portrait was unveiled in 2019 that her primary goal was to make it appear apolitical, as it is meant to represent U.S. history and not tell the story of one specific president over another.
Trump has also had changes made to his presidential portrait . In June, just a few months into office, the White House released an updated version of his official portrait, the second of this presidency. Similar to the portrait released in January, Trump's updated portrait gives a serious stare under furrowed eyebrows. But the new image features more dramatic lighting on a black backdrop, instead of the flag and ornate wall in the background of the previous portrait. Also, Trump swapped his blue tie for a red tie .

Can't open your YouTube, but to me, that portrait indicates a person who is "Above the Law" and empowered to cause more harm not only to America and Americans but to the rest of the world, a virtual Goliath needing a David.
Sorry about that, but I am guessing you know of Danny Kaye's albums for children.
(Lyrics):
MOMMY, GIMME A DRINKA WATER
(Milton Schafer)
Danny Kaye - 1958
Mommy, Mommy
Gimme a drinka water
I’m thirsty
I wanna drinka water
NO, NOW, NOT LATER, NOW!
Mommy, what are you doing?
I wanna tell you something
First come and then I’ll tell you
It’s a secret
It’s about Willy and the teacher
And he called her a stupid dope, ha-ha-ha
Mommy, do you hear me?
Gimme a drinka water
Mommy, turn the light on
I can’t see
The chair’s moving
There’s a funny animal on the wall
You comin', Ma?
There’s an airplane in the room
And it’s flying all around
It’s flying in my head!
Mommy, Mommy,
Gimme a drinka water
Seymour’s mother always gives him water
He told me
And sometimes his mother lets him get it himself
And that crazy Barbara in school today
She scratched me
It hurts, too
D'you want to see it, Ma?
I need to bandage it up
Mommy, oh, Mommy, tell me a story
The one about the king who lived in the woods
And he killed the wicked dragon with his magic sword
That’s the one I like, tell me that one
Tell me, Mommy, tell me
I’m gonna tell Daddy you’re not a good Mommy
You never listen to me
You bad, naughty Mommy!
Mommy, gimme a drinka water
Gimme a cookie too
Turn the light on
Tell me a story
The one about the, you know, Mommy
Tell me
Tell me a drinka water

Reality check. You’re almost 80, very overweight, and you have an absurd fake tan. No picture of you is going to look good, unless Photoshop or AI are involved. And they probably already used Photoshop on this picture.
And anyway, there’s no pleasing this narcissistic sociopath. He makes the cover of Time, with the title “His Triumph,” and he thinks he’s being disrespected.
You know…
It’s a really clear picture of his right ear. The one he was shot it in (allegedly). That ear looks really clean. No scarring. No pieces missing.
Point noted. There is a young man that is dead over the incident. So we know that something happened that day even though there may be unanswered questions.
it seems a pile of shit emoji featuring a yellow comb-over be more easily recognizable ...
I see that. I don't think cartilage grows back that easily
Maybe Trump will like this better. It's more realistic. It captures him perfectly.
That is one heck of a neck vagina.
it's a turkey neck, with thanksgiving just around the corner ...
On the plus side, focusing on his labia neck takes the focus off of his cankles and bruises.
