"The cover, released Monday, shows Trump gazing upward, backlit by sunlight, under the headline His Triumph. The accompanying story praises the president's U.S.-brokered peace deal as a signature achievement and a strategic turning point for the Middle East. The living Israeli hostages held in Gaza have been freed under the first phase of Donald Trump's peace plan, alongside a Palestinian prisoner release.

"The comedian seized on Trump's Truth Social complaint that the Nov. 10 photo, taken from a notably low angle, disappeared his hair and mused it might be the worst of all time.

From there, Colbert spun off a series of fake Time covers featuring AI-generated versions of Trump solving horse crimes and showing an extremely casual attitude towards highway safety."
"Then, to raucous applause, Colbert cut to a real photo Trump alongside Epstein in 1997. You want a flattering photo for the cover of Time? How about this one? Colbert quipped, before mock-editing Epstein out of the frame and replacing Trump instead. Wait, hold on, what's that pervert doing in there? Take that pervert out, he jibed. Colbert, who has repeatedly needled Trump over his shifting stance on releasing the Epstein files, punctuated the bit with a jab at Trump's neck in the controversial photo: Worst Georgia O'Keeffe ever."

Colbert then displayed a 1997 photo of Trump with convicted sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, joked about removing Epstein from the frame, and mocked the photo's angle and Trump's appearance with further quips and visual gags.
