Wow. That is disturbingly narcissistic. Can't say I'm surprised, though, since this was well-covered and analyzed by speculative psychiatrist and psychologists across the political gamut during the campaign.Small potatoes I know. I post this as a small, interesting aside.
But would this be classified as literally "fake news" by Trump or an "alternative fact?" He has been on the cover 14 times so why make a fake one? Is having a 15th cover so important? If it was a silly fake one hanging in office with joke headlines I would understand, but this one tries to look real and is posted in public places at multiple properties.
Also interesting fact, he claimed said "I think we have the all time record for Time cover." He doesn't, Nixon was on it 55 times.

There's a Time magazine cover photo featuring Donald Trump hanging in at least five of his golf clubs. The only problem, according to the Washington Post's David Fahrenthold, is that no such cover exists. As in, Trump (or someone close to him) created the cover out of whole cloth.
Writes Fahrenthold:
"The Time cover is a fake.
There was no March 1, 2009, issue of Time magazine. And there was no issue at all in 2009 that had Trump on the cover.
In fact, the cover on display at Trump's clubs, observed recently by a reporter visiting one of the properties, contains several small but telling mistakes. Its red border is skinnier than that of a genuine Time cover, and, unlike the real thing, there is no thin white border next to the red. The Trump cover's secondary headlines are stacked on the right side — on a real Time cover, they would go across the top.
There is so much to criticize Trump for his politics so why focus on trivial matters like this? The trust for journalism is not high at the moment and wasting time and space on this just goes to show that people are easily distracted from what really matters in the world of politics.
You need to slow down and really get control of your emotions. You're acting mentally ill. Calm down and control yourself. You aren't stable.
Not new for him
Funny this guy is seen as a beacon of masculinity.
He is one of the most overtly insecure people in politics and media, ever.
Yes... me posting a funny little story about Trump having fake shit made to boost his own ego - ME BEING OUT OF CONTROL AND MENTALLY ILL
You, having a mental breakdown here over a thread poking fun at your orange hero - totally normal and rational behavior
Get lost kiddo
I'm glad we calmed you down a little. You were raving about narcissistic egomania and "embarrassment to the nation" over some golfcourse decor. Perhaps you blacked out. Welcome back.
This is just a tiny little (like his hands) non-political tidbit.. to take a break from his policy disasters
