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.

    Someone went to all the trouble of making that fake cover, and given how the other details of the fake correspond to the original cover featuring Kate Winslet (e.g. the smaller notes about articles on "Obama's Next Move: Can He Curb Healthcare Costs?" and "How Stressed Is Your Bank? A Checkup") makes one think that this wasn't done just by some random rabid fan of The Apprentice on the Internet back in 2009 or so. If someone had googled Trump magazine cover they'd probably have gotten the real Time cover from 1989.
