Title: A Time Magazine with Trump on the cover hangs in his golf clubs. It's fake.
Post by: ABX on June 27, 2017, 09:01:43 pm
Today's laugh...

Quote
The framed copy of Time Magazine was hung up in at least four of President Trump's golf clubs, from South Florida to Scotland. Filling the entire cover was a photo of Donald Trump.

"Donald Trump: The 'Apprentice' is a television smash!" the big headline said. Above the Time nameplate, there was another headline in all caps: "TRUMP IS HITTING ON ALL FRONTS . . . EVEN TV!"

This cover - dated March 1, 2009 - looks like an impressive memento from Trump's pre-presidential career. ....

Reminds me of one of those things kids used to get a photo booths where they could get their photo taken and put on fake covers of Sports Illustrated or other magazines.

This has to be one of the biggest nothingburgers I've ever seen. It only took Joe and Mika 8 years to discover this. They're doing a great job of solidifying support for Trump with their cringe worthy tactics.

This does irritate me. I mean, it's Trump. He's been on the cover of just about every news/gossip magazine that exists in the last 40 years. So why a fake cover when he's got dozens of real ones to choose from?

What a loon.

That's what makes him so endearing to his followers.

LOL, maybe I'll get one done for me on the cover of "Wine Enthusiast", as "A Voice for Texas Wineries"...double lol. At least there's a bit of truth to back that up.

I'd like to add my favorite Time Magazine cover to the mix for possible replacements at Trump golf clubs:   88devil

It's a control issue.

And, just flat weird.

However, I do wish the media had used even a tiny portion of the investigative skills used here for 0bama.

Quick question then.

Replace Obama with Trump in this story? Would we still be saying it is a 'nothing' story or would we be laughing our asses off at the narcissism?

Why can't we do both? That's what I've been doing since Joe & Mika brought it up this morning.

It's a nothing story to me, as the act occurred in 2009. There was no "news" here, as it merely confirmed Trump's narcissism for the 1000th time. Did Trump do this to tweak those he irritates, or did he do it out of promoting his self image? The answer to that question could be both, as well.

When you're right, you're right.  :beer:

It is funny.

If Time was smart they would put that "Fake" cover on its next  issue.

You, too, can be on the cover of a magazine:   ^-^

Unless it's Blues Revue or Jazz Times, I'm not interested.

Besides, I wouldn't buy any magazine that would have me on the cover. ;)
