Donald Trump said today that he liked a Time magazine story about his Middle East peace efforts, but voiced outrage about the photo to go with it, complaining it had “disappeared” his hair.

“Time Magazine wrote a relatively good story about me, but the picture may be the Worst
of All Time,” the US President wrote on his Truth Social platform.

“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!”

The photo is taken from a low angle, showing the flesh in his neck and backlit hair. Time posted it on the social platform X on Monday.

“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?” Trump wrote.
