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.

    And he has to sit and take it or risk proving he is the fool we all know him to be because of freedom of speech and the press and all that.

    Bullshit. Freedom of speech means you can say whatever the hell you want to say, the president has a right to it just as much as everyone else. Whether his actions are incongruous is another matter entirely and bringing it up is moving the goalposts.

    You can have whatever opinions you please. I'm not here to attack or defend Trump, I'm here to call out the intellectually disingenuous practice of re-branding actions in an unreasonably sinister manner.

    I agree with GP. The president should demonstrate dignity. Or is expecting the leader of a country to act in public in a dignified, polite manner merely my TDS speaking?

    Next, somebody will point out some tin-pot dictator who makes an ass of himself in public regularly as if that could excuse it. Congratulations, your president has the character of a tin-pot dictator.

      And that's moving the goalpost. How the president presents himself has no bearing over whether his actions could be construed as bullying.

        What. The. Fuck.

        How somebody presents themselves has every bearing over whether his or her actions constitute bullying.

        Are you sure you're not the one with TDS?

        The President's words can move people to kill.
