President Donald Trump just keeps winning, and after the historic peace deal in the Middle East, TIME magazine may have been cured of its TDS [Trump Derangement Syndrome], after it gave him a shockingly glowing cover message for its latest issue.
In the cover shot shared on Monday on X, the outlet posted the cover showing an under-chin shot of President Trump looking upward.

It included a message on the cover that was truly shocking, given that this is the same magazine that mocked and laughed at Trump over the last decade.

The cover of the upcoming November 10, 2025, issue reads, "His Triumph" and "The Leader Israel needed."
The post on X by the outlet read:
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 deal may become a signature achievement of Trump's second term, and it could mark a strategic turning point for the Middle East.
It was the fifth time in the last year that Trump has been on the cover of TIME. It was also the first time the outlet had written something positive about the president on the front of its issue in the last 12 months, as noted by the Official White House Rapid Response account.

The first one showed a picture of Trump at his 2024 victory party after he beat former Vice President Kamala Harris. There's nothing on the cover but the message, "President Elect Donald Trump."
The second Trump cover captured the moment of the president in January at the inauguration of the 47th President. Again, no other message included.
The third cover shown was taken in May. In the shot, Trump's famed coiffed do basically covers up the word TIME with the message "Dealing with it."
It focused on Trump's first 100 days in office for his second term as president.
One line in the piece read:
The first 100 days of his second term have been among the most destabilizing in American history, a blitz of power grabs, strategic shifts, and direct attacks that have left opponents, global counterparts, and even many supporters stunned.
A fourth cover from February 2025, which is not shown in the post on X, involved President Trump sitting in the Oval Office, wiping everything off his desk. The message on the cover, "He's back."
"Donald Trump's disruption is back," the headline read.
Compare all that coverage with what was written following Trump's Gaza-Israel peace deal and the return of the remaining 20 hostages from the October 7, 2023, terrorist attack in the upcoming issue.
One part of the piece read:
The deal could become a signature achievement of Trump's second term—fulfilling his campaign vow to stop a war that has killed tens of thousands, while returning Israeli captives to their families and beginning the arduous work of rebuilding Gaza. It could also mark a strategic turning point for the Middle East. Israel, already emerging from a year of history-bending military operations—crippling Hamas in Gaza, decapitating Hezbollah's command structure, and setting back Iran's nuclear program—now stands at the threshold of something larger."

Just maybe it's all proof that Trump's victories are breaking down even his harshest critics in the legacy media, as RedState's Nick Arama reported.
"Endless applause for President Trump."

"I even saw people wearing Make America Great Again hats in that crowd over at Hostage Square."
THE PRESIDENT OF PEACE! pic.twitter.com/tDuXPfdSWm
What was astonishing was the liberal media's take on the matter--in particular, CNN's.
Not only did they point out the "endless applause" for Trump, but anchor Wolf Blitzer even noted the MAGA hats in the [Tel Aviv Hostage] Square.
Going to get a t-shirt made, "Trump 2025 curing TDS one liberal at a time." Okay, that might be a smidge long. We will work on it.
