Time asks Trump Organization to remove fake cover from golf clubs

Source: The Hill




By Olivia Beavers - 06/27/17 06:06 PM EDT


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.

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

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!

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.

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.
