Time asks: please remove fake cover

WASHINGTON: Time magazine has asked the Trump Organisation to remove fake covers of its magazine – featuring an image of US president Donald Trump – that are currently on display at various golf clubs owned by the company.

The fake cover shows a picture of Trump with his arms crossed, accompanied by a headline saying, “Donald Trump: The ‘Apprentice’ is a television smash!” according to the Washington Post.

Above the Time nameplate is another headline, saying, “Trump is hitting on all fronts ... even TV!”

The newspaper said the cover was framed and hung in at least five of Trump’s golf courses from South Florida to Scotland, but some of the golf clubs had already removed copies of the phony cover.

A spokesperson from Time Inc said it had requested that the Trump Organisation re- move any further copies of the cover – which is erroneously dated March 1, 2009 – from the company’s golf clubs. – ANA-DPA
