Time magazine has asked the Trump organisation to remove fake Time Magazine covers bearing his image that were on display at his golf clubs.

[...] The cover was reportedly on display at four other golf clubs owned by the US president.

The image, dated 1 March 2009, had never run in the magazine in any format, a Time spokeswoman said. The real March edition featured actor Kate Winslet.

"I can confirm that this is not a real Time cover," Kerri Chyka wrote to the Post. The paper said Time had asked the Trump organisation to remove the covers from display.

    The irony doesn't get too much more iron filled than this really.

    The entertaining and spot on rant by the journalist the other day at the press briefing, this story about pots and kettles calling each other black. It would only get funnier if somehow someone started to question Trumps country of birth...

    The whole "fake news" thing he adopted in the first place was in discussion because a huge number of fabulatory publications, with no publication history, appeared from nowhere to support his campaign, then disappear into the Balkan night after the election.

    He then adopted the term to describe factual reporting that he didn't like because, his voters were stupid idiots who'd buy it.

      Shitheel Trump got elected because a significant number of people were utterly disgusted with the Clintonista style of politics, rampant illegal immigration, and bi-coastal elitist snobbery. They didn't vote for Agent Orange, they voted against the establishment and (gasp!) in their own interests.

        Agree with the first, but am pretty sure the second will turn out to be more correctly "against" . . . but that, only time will really tell.

          It's already been proven that they voted against their own best interests. Trump is getting us into needless foreign conflicts just as so many warmongers before him have done, has appointed countless crony capitalist scumbags, supports the intelligence community which continually violates the Constitution, and so on. He revealed himself as a corrupt authoritarian almost instantaneously.

        what middle america calls 'elitism' the rest of us call EDUCATION and intelligence.

        I know, its a lot for the flyovers to take. they like to make fun of 'college boys'.

        sigh. the anti-intellectualism is what is killing this country. and sadly, middle america has had too much say in what goes on. the rest of us are now suffering due to their inability to think and see thru the BS.

          And the 'rest of you' took education paid for by taxes levied equally on on middle america, and reached the positions of power to disparage the middle america instead of putting effort in educating them. Tell me, how many new public schools have been opened by dems? How has the standard of those schools improved? How does tying the funding of schools to lefty policies increase value of a school? Answer to all three: poorly. If you take a book and beat the uneducated with it, that's not "EDUCATION and intelligence" that's elitism.

            And those same funds are available in middle america. So why does education suck there? I wonder if it has something to do with the folks elected in those areas govern with those funds?

      Meanwhile, we now have not one but two CNN people on tape admitting the entire Russia scandal is built on jack shit and there to give them ratings. Of course, we find this out right after 3 senior reporters get fired for embarrassing the company into retracting yet another fake story built on anonymous sources. Rumor mill is saying AT&T is going to ax the chief before they buy the company.

      It's amazing you have nerve to call anyone else stupid when you're clearly the most ignorant person in the room.

    You know that, had he been born after 1983, he would have been a British Citizen, right? In fact, I think he may still be eligible to apply to become a British Citizen.

    There are plenty of ways it could get funnier... the man has a closet packed floor to ceiling with skeletons, the only thing saving his public image is the fact that people expected so little of him in the first place that each new revelation isn't really a letdown but rather a confirmation of what was already well known. He has nowhere to fall, hit rock bottom long ago and has been digging for decades.
