Time magazine has asked the Trump Organization to remove copies of a fake cover of President Trump that were on display at the company’s golf clubs, The Washington Post reported Tuesday afternoon.

The request came after the newspaper reported that at least four Trump-branded golf clubs had displayed a fake Time magazine cover that depicted Trump with the headline “Donald Trump: The ‘Apprentice’ is a television smash!”

The cover, dated March 1, 2009, was never published by the magazine at any point, a spokeswoman for Time confirmed.

“I can confirm that this is not a real TIME cover,” Kerri Chyka wrote to the Post in an email.

2. Fake

As per usual.

[The Wielding Truth]

3. He is such a charlatan. Honestly, he is a big fraud.

4. Fake news bad, fake newsmagazine good? n/t

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

5. Such a vainglorious douchebag that he has to counterfeit a Time cover?

Copyright infringement, quite possibly; pathetic self-aggrandizement, definitely.

[Ilsa]

6. Hahahaha! Time asked him to take it down! NT

[BumRushDaShow]

7. I was wondering. WaPo's Fahrenthold wrote a piece on that today

GD thread here - https://www.democraticunderground.com/10029259661

I posted in the GD thread about what the heck was Time's response to all of that given that Farenthold didn't really have any response from them. I guess we are seeing it now!

8. I wondered by Time wasn't doing anything about that. Good! nt

9. This will be fun to watch

[dhill926]

10. sue his ass....

why not....

[Thinkingabout]

11. He has to lie, does he have anything to really stand, how long are his supporters going to continue

to hear stories like this before they finally decide it is time to kick him to the curb.

[MGKrebs]

12. WTF?!

Why would they do that? He's been on enough magazine covers for real. Why would they have to invent something? That is just bizarre.

[sarcasmo]

14. Shocked the frame wasn't in Dictator Gold.

[paleotn]

15. Such a fragile ego

Poor snowflake. Sad.

[Achilleaze]

16. The only thing about him that's not fake

Is that he's the flaming, lying, cheating Republican draft dodger in chief.

[catbyte]

17. Utterly pathetic. What a tiny, tiny little man.

[PoliticAverse]

18. He can keep this though, right?...

[jmowreader]

19. A lot of people photoshop themselves into the "cover" of a magazine

Most of them do it as a joke, though. Very few people do it like Trumpinocchio did, though.

You fine individuals do realize though, that the issue of Time with Trump being frog-marched into the DC City Jail is going to sell so well they're going to wear out a set of gravure cylinders running reprints - a feat which, until Trump got arrested, was widely believed to be impossible.

20. Fake News?

[Raven123]

21. Time should sue Trump for defamation of character

[Julian Englis]

22. Headline we want: People Ask Congress to Remove Fake President From White House

Yes, it's also true.

[NastyRiffraff]

23. How petty can he get?

Oh yeah, stupid question. This is Trump we're talking about.

[truthisfreedom]

24. Perfect example of our piece of shit in office, faking his way to fame.

He's a nothing.

[Shell_Seas]

25. They should sue.
