Middle East Trip and Peace Efforts<\/h3>\n

On\u00a0October 13<\/strong>, the 79-year-old traveled to\u00a0Sharm el-Sheikh<\/strong>\u00a0to sign a declaration aimed at bringing peace to Gaza. The summit included leaders from\u00a0Egypt, Qatar, and Turkey<\/strong>. This followed his earlier visit to Israel to oversee the\u00a0release of hostages<\/strong>\u00a0as part of the ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas.<\/p>\n

As part of the peace plan,\u00a0Israel released 250 Palestinian prisoners<\/strong>\u00a0serving life sentences, along with\u00a01,700 Gazans detained<\/strong>\u00a0after October 7, 2023.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m good at solving wars. I\u2019m good at making peace,\u201d Trump told the BBC about his efforts at the Egyptian summit.<\/p>\n

TIME Magazine Cover Sparks Outrage<\/h3>\n

TIME released a cover depicting Trump\u2019s so-called \u201cTriumph,\u201d highlighting the Republican administration\u2019s role in the Gaza ceasefire deal. The article also references envoy\u00a0Steve Witkoff<\/strong>, former advisor\u00a0Jared Kushner<\/strong>, and the \u201cpainstaking efforts\u201d to calm one of the world\u2019s most volatile conflicts.<\/p>\n

Though Trump called the story \u201crelatively good,\u201d he criticized the photograph. The image is a\u00a0low-angle shot<\/strong>\u00a0of Trump outdoors in his navy suit and red tie.<\/p>\n

\u201cTime Magazine wrote a relatively good story about me, but the picture may be the\u00a0Worst of All Time<\/strong>,\u201d Trump posted on\u00a0Truth Social<\/strong>. He complained that the photo \u201cdisappeared\u201d his hair and featured a small, floating shape above his head that resembled a crown.<\/p>\n

He added that he dislikes\u00a0underneath-angle photos<\/strong>, calling this one \u201csuper bad\u201d and \u201cdeserving to be called out.\u201d<\/p>\n

Trump\u2019s Long History With TIME<\/h3>\n

Trump first appeared on the cover of TIME in\u00a01989<\/strong>\u00a0and is a\u00a0two-time Person of the Year winner<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo be on the cover of Time as Person of the Year is a tremendous honor,\u201d he told NBC in 2016. \u201cIt means a lot, especially since I grew up reading Time magazine. It\u2019s a very important magazine.\u201d<\/p>\n

He made the cover again in\u00a02024<\/strong>, surpassing figures like\u00a0Kamala Harris, Catherine, Princess of Wales, Elon Musk, Benjamin Netanyahu, and Joe Rogan<\/strong>. TIME praised him for \u201cmarshaling a comeback of historic proportions\u201d and reshaping America\u2019s political and global role.<\/p>\n

Despite these accolades, Trump has had a\u00a0complicated relationship<\/strong>\u00a0with TIME. In\u00a02015<\/strong>, he criticized the magazine for not selecting him as Person of the Year, favoring\u00a0Angela Merkel<\/strong>\u00a0instead. He also labeled the magazine\u2019s\u00a0100 Most Influential People list<\/strong>\u00a0a \u201cjoke\u201d in 2013.<\/p>\n

A Fickle Relationship<\/h3>\n

Trump\u2019s latest critique reflects his ongoing scrutiny of TIME. While the magazine continues to laud his achievements, the former president remains highly opinionated about how he is\u00a0portrayed visually<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
