Donald Trump’s fake Time magazine cover – with Donald Trump on the front
Fake news! A whole bunch of Donald Trump’s golf clubs proudly display a Time magazine cover with Donald Trump on the front.
“Donald Trump: The ‘Apprentice’ is a television smash!” it said. “TRUMP IS HITTING ON ALL FRONTS . . . EVEN TV!”
Except it’s all make believe. The issue, dated March 2009, is made-up. The genuine Time magazine that month had Kate Winslet on the cover.
Here’s a handy visual guide as to how they could tell it wasn’t the real deal.

Here’s a close-up of the cover, in case you can’t quite make it out.
