Donald Trump criticized Time magazine's cover photo, despite praising the accompanying article about his role in a Gaza peace deal. Trump found the photo unflattering, specifically disliking the angle and perceived modifications to his appearance. The Time magazine cover story highlighted the potential of the peace deal as a significant achievement for Trump. Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova also condemned the photo choice, expressing strong disapproval. Russia's comments come amid strained relations with the U.S. over the war in Ukraine and an attempt to gain Trump's favor. California Governor Gavin Newsom, a frequent detractor of Trump, also used the photo in a social media post, censoring Trump's neck. The peace agreement between Israel and Hamas involves troop withdrawal and hostage release. Although a deal, the violence continues with Israeli forces responsible for deaths. Trump considers this deal his biggest accomplishment, according to him.
