Time asks Trump Organization to remove fake cover from golf clubs
By Olivia Beavers


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.

The fake cover was reportedly hanging in at least two of Trump's golf clubs in the U.S.

Another one was reportedly displayed at Trump's resort in Ireland, but was recently moved from a restaurant area to a manager's office.

A cover that had also been displayed at the Trump's Turnberry club in Scotland was removed a few weeks ago without explanation, the Post reported.

The fake cover was reportedly interspersed with real magazine covers in at least at one location.

How starved must President Trump be for validation that he has to gin up these ersatz encomiums to himself?

I learned a new word today, I hope. Thanks, because that's important to me.

en·co·mi·um
enˈkōmēəm,inˈkōmēəm/
nounformal
noun: encomium; plural noun: encomia; plural noun: encomiums

a speech or piece of writing that praises someone or something highly.


Whoa! So bizarre on so many levels that we're having to witness this, but I don't want it any other way. Yes, he's such a sad little man I am way beyond wanting to see.

He's gotta go.

Alliteration is a stylistic literary device identified by the repeated sound of the first letter in a series of multiple words, or the repetition of the same letter sounds in stressed syllables of a phrase.[1] "Alliteration" is from the Latin word littera, meaning "letter of the alphabet", and the first known use of the word to refer to a literary device occurred around 1624.[2] Alliteration narrowly refers to the repetition of a letter in any syllables that, according to the poem's meter, are stressed,[3][4][5] as in James Thomson's verse "Come…dragging the lazy languid Line along".[6] Another example is "Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers"

Someone had better inform the Evangelicals that they are sucking up to the anti-Christ just like the bible said they would.
