Talk about Fake News! Framed copies of Time Magazine hung in at least four of President Donald Trump's golf clubs are claimed to be fake. The cover, featuring a photo of Donald, along with a big headline that reads “Donald Trump: The 'Apprentice' is a television smash!”. Another headline above the Time nameplate reads, “TRUMP IS HITTING ON ALL FRONTS... EVEN TV!” Dated March 1, 2009, while the cover makes for an impressive memento, a reporter who recently visited one of the properties, observed several small but telling mistakes.
The red border is skinnier, and unlike the original, there is no thin white border next to the red. While Trump cover's secondary headlines are stacked on the right side, they would go across the top on a real Time cover. As for the exclamation points, Time headlines don't yell! A spokeswoman for Time Inc. said, “I can confirm that this is not a real TIME Cover.” The fake cover has is hung in at least four of Trump's 17 golf clubs.
After basing an entire election campaign on accusations of the media producing “fake news” related to him, Trump's hanging of pieces of phony journalism made journalists jeer. The Trump organisation refused to respond to questions about the cover and why it was displayed at Trump clubs. White House spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee Sanders declined to say whether Trump had known the cover wasn't real. “We couldn't comment on the décor at Trump Golf clubs one way or another.”
