Donald Trump has made the cover of Time magazine, but this time he's not nearly as happy about it as you'd expect.

Reacting to the publication's cover photo, which was taken close up from a low angle, the U.S. president took to his own Truth Social after the issue was published to moan about it.

"Time Magazine wrote a relatively good story about me, but the picture may be the Worst of All Time," wrote Trump. "They 'disappeared' my hair, and then had something floating on top of my head that looked like a floating crown, but an extremely small one. Really weird!"

In the clip above from Jimmy Kimmel Live! Tuesday night, the late night show host gleefully reads Trump's post before responding to it.

"I want to go back to that cover and show you this crown," Kimmel says. "OK, that's not a crown, that's the letter M. Only he would see an M on his head an assume it's a crown."

He goes on to talk about the rest of Trump's post, in which the president says he's "never liked taking pictures from underneath angles" before adding that the photo "deserves to be called out."

"It's like he's a TikTok influencer yelling at her boyfriend for not knowing her angles," Kimmel says. "It really is remarkable what a big, fragile baby this man is."
