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.

    Don't call him fake. You don't fight "fake" the way you should fight someone trying to usurp the Worst President title from W...

    No matter how much I dislike them, I struggle to call any president who is re-elected 'worst'. I'd pick J. Buchanan or A. Johnson as worst for sure. Perspective people!

    Hard to say one way or the other. I can't speak for you of course, but I wasn't there.

    I have to get back to my grandfathers' young days to find a president ranked worse than W in this dedicated wikipedia page:
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Historical_rankings_of_presidents_of_the_United_States [wikipedia.org]

    So, while I'd agree that "worst president ever" could be an exaggeration (though it might be true from an international policies standpoint), and "worst president since the rise of Hitler" is technically correct but flamebait, how about "Clearly the worst since the death of Marie Curie, the production of the CRT TV set, the invention of electron microscopy, FM, impact sprinklers, sodium thiopental, and the birth of Gagarin, Goodall, Cernan, Moog and Sagan" (all that in 1933).
    The door is open for the current guy to try to take the title, but the D.C. he inherited was nowhere near the state it was in when Clinton left it for W, making it harder to fall hard from a much lower point.

    Being (re-)elected president has lost all meaning when it comes to the actual value of a person.
