TIME magazine has been mocked online after the paper unveiled its upcoming cover image on Friday, June 11.
The magazine
cover shows a sunglasses-wearing US President Biden, and comes ahead of the upcoming
summit between Biden and Russian President Vladimir Putin in Geneva on June 16.
The
illustration features Biden in his signature aviator shades with the headline,
"Taking on Putin."
TIME magazine
consecutively published unflattering illustrations of former President Donald
Trump, complete with a pair of covers showing his "meltdown" stages
and another set of covers showing Trump’s Oval Office filling up with water
amid a "stormy" situation.
During
Trump's time the magazine even edited Trump and Putin together ahead of their
summit back in 2018. Now that Biden is in office, readers have taken notice of
the magazine attempting to make Biden look tough.
TIME magazine
condemn for exaggerated attempt to make Joe Biden look cool and tough on its
cover ahead of Putin meeting.
"This
cover attempts to make Joe Biden look cool, but even in their flattering
depiction of his face -- a drawing because he would look incredibly elderly and
weak in a current high-def pic -- he has his typical gaping mouth that makes
him look clueless and afraid of Putin who is staring him down with a confident
smirk," political satirist Tim Young reacted on Twitter.
"I can't
help but remember the cover of TIME where their editors pushed a lie by editing
a Honduran child they claimed to have been separated from her parents by Trump
on the cover with Trump - it turned out the child hadn't been separated at all,
but that image had been used to ruin Trump, which was their entire biased game
for four years," Young said.
Former acting
Director of National Intelligence (DNI) Richard Grenell added;
"Giving
him a pipeline of leverage into Europe is NOT taking him on. It’s giving in."
National
Review’s Kyle Smith said;, "DNC press releases aren’t this
sycophantic."
"Wonder
why there was no such 'Trump takes out Soleimani' cover," one reader
pondered.
