Donald Trump Complains ‘Really Weird’ Time Magazine Cover ‘Disappeared My Hair’: ‘The Picture May Be the Worst of All Time’

President Donald Trump is receiving widespread kudos for helping broker the Israel-Gaza ceasefire agreement. But in a late-night tweet, Trump was fully focused on the photo Time magazine selected for the cover of the newsmagazine’s latest issue — which the president implied was deliberately chosen to make his hair look “weird.”

“Time Magazine wrote a relatively good story about me, but the picture may be the Worst of All Time,” Trump wrote in a Truth Social message posted Tuesday at 1:36 a.m. ET. “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?”

Here is Time magazine’s Nov. 10, 2025, cover, with the coverline “His Triumph”:

Over the years, Trump’s hair has received a sizable amount of media attention. For example, in 2015, Vanity Fair writer Bruce Handy described his hair as a “dead, furry lobster” and called the color of his locks in a 2002 photo as “burnt-Cheetos auburn”; the New York Post has called his hair “bizarre.”

“Trump’s hair is his mood ring. It signals how he feels — and who he wants to be — in any given instant,” New York Times columnist Frank Bruni wrote in a 2016 essay.

Time’s cover story, headlined “How the Trump Administration Sealed the Gaza Ceasefire Deal,” said the agreement “could become a signature achievement of Trump’s second term — fulfilling his campaign vow to stop a war that has killed tens of thousands, while returning Israeli captives to their families and beginning the arduous work of rebuilding Gaza.”

The story also said it “could also mark a strategic turning point for the Middle East” to usher in a period of lasting peace after decades of violence. But Time’s article also cautioned, “Such an outcome is far from certain. While Israel and Hamas have accepted the two-phase agreement, there remains the chance it could unravel.”

A rep for Time magazine did not immediately respond to a request for comment about Trump’s criticism of the cover photo.
