'The worst of all time': Trump criticizes Time magazine's 'extremely poor' cover photo.

It is a positive article in a publication that Trump has consistently praised – except for one issue. The magazine's cover photo, the president decreed, ""might be the most terrible in history".

Time magazine's praise to the president's involvement in brokering a ceasefire in Gaza, featured on its November 10 cover, was paired with a photo of the president taken from below and with the sun shining from the back.

The result, the president asserts, is "super bad".

"The publication wrote a relatively good story about me, but the image may be the most awful ever", he shared on his social media platform.

“My hair was ‘disappeared’, and then there was a shape over my head that looked like a hovering crown, but extremely small. Really weird! I have never liked being shot from underneath, but this is a extremely poor image, and it merits criticism. Why did they choose this, and why?”

Trump has made no secret of his desire to be pictured on Time’s cover and did so multiple times in the past year. The obsession has extended to his golf courses – in 2017, the editors demanded to remove fabricated front pages exhibited in several of his venues.

The most recent cover image was captured by Graeme Sloane for a news agency at the White House on October 5.

The shot's viewpoint highlighted negatively his chin and neck area – a chance that the governor of California Gavin Newsom seized, with his press office posting a modified photo with the problematic part obscured.

{The living Israeli hostages detained in Gaza have been liberated under the first phase of Trump's ceasefire agreement, together with a freeing of Palestinian inmates. This agreement may become a signature achievement of Trump's second term, and it could mark a strategic turning point for the Middle East.

Simultaneously, a defense of his portrayal has come from a surprising origin: the director of information at the Russian foreign ministry stepped in to condemn the "revealing" picture decision.

It's amazing: a photo says more about those who chose it than about the person in it. Only sick people, people filled with spite and resentment –maybe even degenerates – could have selected such an image", Maria Zakharova posted on the messaging platform.

Considering the favorable images of Biden that that magazine displayed on the cover, even with his age-related challenges, the situation is self-revealing for the publication", she noted.

The explanation for Trump’s questions – what did the editors intend, and why? – may be something to do with artistically representing a impression of strength according to a picture editor, Guardian Australia’s picture editor.

The image itself technically is good," she notes. "They picked this image because they wanted Trump to look impressive. Gazing upward creates an impression of their majesty and the president's visage actually looks contemplative and almost a bit ethereal. It's rare you see images of the president in such a calm instance – the picture feels tender."

His hair seems to vanish because the light from behind has bleached that section of the image, creating a halo effect, she adds. Although the article's title complements Trump’s expression in the image, "it's impossible to satisfy the individual in question."

Nobody enjoys being captured from low angles, and although all of the thematic components of the image are very strong, the appearance are not flattering."

The Guardian approached the periodical for feedback.
