He probably will brag "I've been on the cover of TIME more than anyone".

First thing that popped into my mind when I saw that cover was the melting Nazi from Indiana Jones.

Did you read the linked article and Trumps' tweet contained within?

It's pretty damned obvious.

This is from the Time article that the cover is about:

Then there are the challenges entirely of Trump’s own making. More than three months after he effectively clinched the Republican nomination, he has yet to settle on a strategy to match the demands of a broader electorate. In an interview with TIME on Aug. 9, the improvisational candidate sounded torn between conflicting pieces of advice, unsure of how much to hold back and when to let loose. “I am now listening to people that are telling me to be easier, nicer, be softer. And you know, that’s O.K., and I’m doing that,” he says. “Personally, I don’t know if that’s what the country wants.”

Polls show that Trump has failed to grasp one of the essential truths about this extraordinary contest: in a race between the two most unpopular major-party nominees in modern history, it’s in each campaign’s interest to train the spotlight on the other. Clinton wants the race to be about Trump. Which is what the publicity-addled Republican wants too. And why not? It worked for him in the Republican primaries. “I got 14 million votes and won most of the states,” he boasts. “I’m liking the way I ran in the primaries better.”

But the general election will likely be decided by groups of voters who are rarely among the cheering throngs at his rallies. This is a fact that Trump is only now starting to confront. “I don’t know why we’re not leading by a lot,” he admitted to a crowd of thousands in Jacksonville, Fla., on Aug. 3. One reason is that he’s getting crushed by minority voting blocs that Republican strategists have suggested courting, such as blacks, Hispanics and young women.

Of course, there are multitudes of factors that are going to determine who wins the presidency, but the part I bolded above is probably one of the bigger factors - Trump's compulsive desire to be the focus of the narrative when the obvious, sensible campaign strategy is to make Clinton the focus. Add in his thin skin that Clinton and her surrogates keep poking at (making the questioning of his temperament a focus of her campaign was really smart) and it becomes a feedback loop that just keeps on giving to the Clinton campaign.

Trump's tweet in that article was about the older cover, not the meltdown cover.

Trump should hate this Time magazine cover, but he’ll probably hang it in his office

The Notorious RBG is probably laughing out loud about this right now…
