Trump's Disdain for Time Magazine Cover Sparks Laughter
Late-night hosts Jimmy Kimmel and Stephen Colbert have recently discussed Donald Trump's dissatisfaction with his Time magazine cover. Kimmel brought up the rise of antibiotic-resistant superbugs, comparing them to "the world's most dangerous bacteria that sounds like a show on Disney+". However, Trump's focus shifted to his own Time magazine cover, which he deemed the "worst of all time." The photo, featuring Trump with loose skin under his neck, upset him so much that he took to Truth Social to express his discontent.
Key Takeaways:
- Trump made the cover of Time magazine, but was unhappy with the photo, calling it "the worst of all time" and claiming the magazine "disappeared" his hair.
- Trump alleged that the photo was taken from an "upward shot" that accentuated his neck, leading to jokes about his loose skin.
- Jimmy Kimmel quipped that Trump seemed like a "big, fragile baby" who was upset about the photo, which he compared to an optical illusion.
- Stephen Colbert likened the photo to a Georgia O'Keeffe painting, joking that it was "one of those optical illusions where you can't tell if it's an old woman or a young ball sack."
- Colbert also commented on the chaos at US airports, caused by the government shutdown, and the introduction of a new mandatory TSA checkpoint video starring Kristi Noem.
- In the video, Noem claims that Democrats in Congress are responsible for the shutdown, but Colbert responded that the real issue is the confusion and inconsistency of airport lines.
