Audience Laughs as President Trump Comments on Time Magazine Cover

Trump Roasts Time Magazine’s Desperate Play

It was one of those moments where wit meets reality. One of the loathsome magazines tried to stir up trouble, and it backfired—big time. The Gateway Pundit’s Jordan Conradson reported that President Trump and Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba held a press conference in the White House’s East Room after an early morning meeting.

The two world leaders covered a ton of ground—from training exercises to foreign investments in the U.S., semiconductors, artificial intelligence, and energy exports. But nothing grabbed the room’s attention like the question about Time Magazine’s audacious new cover.

The failing magazine thought it could pull a fast one. They put Elon Musk on the cover, seating him behind the Resolute Desk. The idea? To suggest that Musk was the real boss and that Trump was nothing more than a puppet. Hard to believe anyone with half a brain would take such a desperate shot.

When a reporter asked, “Mr. President, do you have a reaction to the new Time Magazine cover that has Elon Musk sitting behind your resolute desk?” the room was waiting for a moment of truth.

Trump’s answer? Pure class. “Is Time magazine still in business?” he shot back. “I didn’t even know that.” The whole room burst into laughter. It was a no-nonsense dismissal of a fad attempt to undermine his authority.

It’s clear that no matter how hard some try to twist the narrative, reality—and Trump’s sharp wit—always wins out. No matter what the haters do, facts speak for themselves, and they sure hit hard when you know where the real power lies.
