Time magazine's fawning cover of Joe Biden looking younger with Vladimir Putin in his aviator sunglasses is Twitter's newest meme playground, with the president's critics ripping into the publication.

In Time's tweet introducing the cover, the magazine wrote: 'Biden takes on Putin,' which elicited an onslaught of snippy jokes about 78-year-old Biden's age and gifs of Putin laughing on Twitter.

'What in the hell kind of fan fiction comic book is this cover?' one user said.

Another tweet said it made the president look like a 'Hollywood movie villain.'

'He's wearing sunglasses because he's sleeping,' another Twitter user said, playing off Donald Trump's snarky nickname for Biden 'Sleepy Joe'.

Time published the cover as Biden prepares to meet with Putin at a summit in Geneva next week.

'Good luck to Biden in dealing with President Putin—don't fall asleep during the meeting, and please give him my warmest regards,' Trump said in an emailed statement.

What a sickening bunch of syncophants.

A reminder that no matter how bad it is, it is guaranteed to get even worse.

(I would add "...before it gets better" but I am not confident that it will.)

and the angle/position of his lower teeth. Everything is offset or slanted.

So basically, it’s all show biz. Right?

[Salamander]

You mean like *crooked*?

:D

Oddly, the ‘artist’ must have used two source photos.

One of the “attached lobe Joe” and one of the “free lobe Joe” and came up with this weird, Dali-esque hybrid.

Time magazine photo department airbrush equipment that had to be brought in for bidens photo.

Airbrush Artist Conventioneers would disown this cover. Fraud is hard to airbrush away, and I don’t think they were very successful here.
