Time was ridiculed on social media when the newspaper on Friday revealed its upcoming cover image ahead of the upcoming summit between a sunglasses-adorned Joe Biden and Russian President Vladimir Putin.
“This cover is trying to get Joe Biden to look cool, but even with their flattering depiction of his face – using a painting to hide the old age and fatigue that would be revealed by a high-resolution photograph – gives his typical gaping mouth a clueless and fearful impression in front of a Putin staring down at him with a confident grin “, states political satirist Tim Young in a comment to Fox News.

Readers also criticize Biden for letting Putin build his Nordstream 2 gas pipeline, a construction that is partly taking place in Sweden's economic zone, without the US stopping the project.
“To let him build a pipeline of influence straight into Europe is NOT to tackle him. It's giving up, “writes former National Intelligence (DNI) chairman Richard Grenell, while National Review's Kyle Smith stated that” not even Democrats 'press releases “are as greasy as the Times' cover.
