Two images purportedly showing U.S. President Donald Trump on the cover of Time magazine — one labeling him the Best. President. Ever. and the other the Worst. President. Ever. — are frequently shared on social media among both his critics and his supporters: Neither of these covers is real. They do not appear in the Time vault (an archive of the magazine's previous issues), nor do they appear in the publication's article post about all the times Donald Trump has graced its covers: According to the magazine, Trump was on the cover fifteen times since the start of his successful presidential campaign as of April 2018, and once prior to his presidential bid. We haven't been able to pinpoint the exact origins of the hoax magazine covers, but the Worst. President. Ever. image has been around since at least November 2017. It's likely that the Best. President. Ever. image was created in response to that, or vice versa. At the time, President Trump was boasting about how he had turned down Time's offer to be their Person of the Year. The publication disputed the claim, however, and the silence breakers, various people who spoke out and shared their stories about sexual assault, were ultimately honored with the title: Trump was Time's Person of the Year in 2016.
