Donald Trump has accused Time Magazine of using the worst picture “of all time” on its cover marking his Gaza peace deal.

The image, taken from a low angle, features Mr Trump dressed in a suit and his signature red tie, backlit with sunlight alongside the captions “his triumph,” “the leader Israel needed,” and “how Gaza heals”.

Reacting to the cover, Mr 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! 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?”

Mr Trump has appeared on the Time front cover a number of times, including in the 1980s, in 2015 before his election, and this year following his return to the White House. He was named Time’s person of the year in 2024 for the second time.

The first time Mr Trump was named Time’s person of the year in 2016, he was pictured alongside the caption: “President of the divided states of America”.

Some suggested the placement of the M in the title, positioned behind his head, has been intended to mimic devil horns.
