Time asks Trump Organization to remove fake cover from golf clubs
The Hill ^ | 6/27/17 | Olivia Beavers

Posted on 06/29/2017 4:25:25 AM PDT by SoFloFreeper

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.

So Trump cranks up a vanity mag cover and Time has a MELTDOWN.

If he does it again they will have a TOTAL MELTDOWN.

Meanwhile, they publish fake news about Trump and pretend to be journalists.

Not to mention fruitless. Parody use is probably protected.

I’ll have to tune in to “Petty Court” to see how this riveting story unfolds.

The man know how to get under MSM’s skin. Every time he pulls stunts on them, they play right into his hands.

President Trump could reply that it is a planned cover for when he buys Time for a dollar.

You should always keep the covers on your golf clubs to protect them when not in use.

Time is basically a cover now as in no inside pages.

Anyone remember when booths at amusement parks superimposed your photograph on a famous magazine title cover? Rolling Stone, Time, etc.

Since the simulated Time cover was never representated as genuine, Time has no case. No, I’m not a lawyer but I play one on FR.

How to ‘scare off’ your rivals?

As with all things Clinton, they blackmailed anyone who thought about running and rigged the nomination process.

Iran’s New Mood? How we laughed!

-- Every time he pulls stunts on them, they play right into his hands. --

The press thinks this is some sort of powerful "gotcha." Trump had the cover made in March 2009, as Celebrity Apprentice was enjoying commercial success. My point being that in this instance, it isn;t Trump tweaking the press, it is the press trying to tweak Trump. Take him off his agenda.

Subtitles on the parody cover were prescient.

Trump should agree to do it,....PROVIDED Time Magazine recalls and republishes all the Time issues with a fake (Photoshopped) picture of Trump on the front.

It’s hard to imagine anything more childish and petty coming from a major news organization, but give them time, they’ll come up with something.

So the fake news outlets are pissed because Trump is making a joke about their fake news or is doing a vanity cover?
