US President Donald Trump made headlines globally for his efforts to bring peace to Gaza, with one magazine cover causing controversy. Following his visit to Israel for the release of hostages as part of a recent ceasefire deal, he signed a declaration in Egypt alongside other world leaders.
Time magazine featured a cover story titled ‘His Triumph,’ praising Trump’s administration for its extensive peace efforts. However, Trump criticized the cover image, expressing dissatisfaction with how he was portrayed. He took issue with the angle of the photo, claiming it misrepresented him by removing his hair and adding a small floating crown.
Despite Trump’s critique of the cover, the article highlighted the potential historical significance of the peace deal and its impact on the Middle East. It commended the administration’s meticulous work in resolving a significant conflict.
Trump, a longtime admirer of Time magazine, had previously been featured on its cover and won Person of the Year twice. While he values the recognition, he has expressed disappointment in the past for not being selected when running for office.
His reaction to the cover controversy mirrored his frustration over a previous Person of the Year selection, showcasing his mixed feelings towards the magazine’s recognition.
