President Donald Trump took to Truth Social early Tuesday morning to voice his displeasure with a recent Time magazine cover, criticizing the publication for what he described as an unflattering photo that made his hair appear “disappeared.”
The November 10, 2025, cover of Time magazine, titled “His Triumph,” features Trump following his administration’s successful mediation of a ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas. Despite receiving widespread recognition for his involvement in brokering the deal, Trump’s late-night message focused on his appearance rather than the diplomatic achievement.
Donald Trump says his TIME Magazine cover may be the “worst picture of all time”:

“Time Magazine wrote a relatively good story about me, but the picture may be the Worst of All Time,” Trump wrote at 1:36 a.m. ET 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!”
Trump also criticized the angle of the photograph, saying, “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?”
The accompanying Time article, titled “How the Trump Administration Sealed the Gaza Ceasefire Deal,” details how Trump’s diplomatic efforts helped bring an end to the latest round of violence in the region. The story describes the agreement as potentially one of the defining accomplishments of Trump’s second term, noting it fulfilled a key campaign promise to stop the war, return Israeli captives, and begin rebuilding efforts in Gaza.
While the article acknowledged the significance of the deal, it also included cautious notes, warning that the agreement could still collapse despite both sides accepting its two-phase terms.
Trump’s hairstyle has long been a topic of media commentary. In previous years, Vanity Fair referred to it as resembling a “dead, furry lobster,” while the New York Post and other outlets have also described it as unusual. The New York Times once compared his hair to a “mood ring” reflecting his persona.
Time magazine has not yet responded to Trump’s remarks about the cover photo.
