Donald Trump's political career, marked by frequent falsehoods, continues to be highlighted by his reactions to media coverage. Recently, a Time magazine cover featuring Elon Musk sparked intrigue as Trump dismissed the statement devoid of acknowledgment, joking about the magazine's existence. This reaction reflects Trump's peculiar fixation with the magazine, having previously lashed out at celebrities and political figures honored by it. His comments amid ongoing political tensions evoke curiosity about his perception of media and public persona, suggesting a comedic yet complex engagement with public scrutiny.
When asked for his reaction to the cover during an Oval Office meeting with Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba on Friday afternoon, Trump said he doesn't have one. "Is Time magazine still in business? I didn't even know that," Trump said. "Elon is doing a great job."
But this isn't some obscure fixation from Trump's youth. He lashed out at Taylor Swift when she was named Time's 'Person of the Year' in 2023. He complained about Kamala Harris's August 2024 Time cover, claiming, bizarrely, that she looked like his wife, Melania.
