AN ESTATE OF EVIL
Time called, they want their cover back. Donald Trump, who is as incapable of telling the truth as he is of running a country, has apparently made up yet another lie about Time magazine in what is now a running series of yuuuge Timesensitive lies. On Friday, the unhinged President of the United States took time out from various twitter wars with various people to start one with Time magazine, bizarrely posting that he “took a pass” at being named Time’s “Man (Person) of the Year.” Either Trump’s just really as dumb as we always feared, or he’s out to break a record for lying — in 280 characters or less. First off, the editors of Time couldn’t have called him to offer him “Man (Person) of the Year” because they have called the annual honor “Person of the Year” for 18 years. Worse, Time refuted the whole idiotic presidential tweet, saying, “The President is incorrect about how we choose Person of the Year.” OK now, not to panic anybody, but this guy’s obsession with Time magazine is bordering on dangerous. It’s so severe it propels the leader of the free world to tell increasingly outrageous lies about it and him; lies that are as obviously false as his hairline. It all began in 2009, when Donald hung up — in several of his residences and public spaces — a giant blowup of his “first” Time cover. Dated March 1, 2009, the cover features his photo and exclamation point-laden coverlines like: “Trump is Hitting On All Fronts: Even TV!” And worse, “Donald Trump ‘The Apprentice’ is a television smash!” Only problem? It’s a giant fake — it looks even faker than the fake Time covers you get at photo booths at Bar Mitzvahs. Trump’s false cover is so bad it’s even dated March 1, 2009, which was a Sunday. Time only publishes on Fridays. A war is brewing over Charlie Manson’s “estate” and his remains. What estate? Yes, there is cash. Ugh. And then there’s the rights to “images,” music and clothing.
Seriously? How can there be rights for such horrific wrongs?
In typical Manson Helter Skelter fashion, the psychopath left two wills for two people — a pen pal and a man who claims to be his son. Manson’s friend, Ben Gurecki, told The News, “Charlie will be given a headstone, a proper burial where people will be able to grieve, or deface it as they see fit. I will absolutely not let this continue to be a circus.”
If that’s not circus freak show, than what is? The only thing to grieve about is that Manson was ever born in the first place.
This is as seriously dim as buying a genuine $25 14-karat gold Roflex watch on the street.
So you’d think after being shamed by the giant faux pas cover, he’d stop already. But no.
Unable to control himself, on Friday he fakenews-tweeted that he just turned down Time. “Time Magazine called to say that I was PROBABLY going to be named ‘Man (Person) of the Year,’ like last year, but I would have to agree to an interview and a major photo shoot. I said probably is no good and took a pass. Thanks anyway!”
Trump is no more capable of turning down a cover shoot than he is of turning down a fresh bucket of KFC. In fact, as they say, the most dangerous place on the planet is standing between Trump and a camera.
Meantime, Trump actually WAS Time’s Person of the Year last year. But hey, in other years so were Stalin, Hitler and Putin.
Oh, and as for the Time “Man (Person)” thing? That’s because Donald has said that it only should be “Man of the Year” — even if it’s a woman. How about Mane of the Year? That’s one he’d always win.
