Wow! This great @politico story has a photo that answers a long-standing question I’ve had about @realdonaldtrump...1/
Look at the @TIME cover that’s behind Christian Bale in this photo from @realdonaldtrump’s office. Have you seen it before? 2/
Here’s a closer look. 3/
It’s a fake. 4/
More specifically, it’s *this* fake, a bogus @time cover that declared “Trump is hitting on all fronts!” 5/ washingtonpost.com/politics/a-tim…
I saw it on the wall at a @realdonaldtrump golf club last yr. We later found it on the wall at 4 other clubs, including Mar-a-Lago. 6/
It’s totally bogus. Time didn’t have a 3/1/2009 cover. The barcode on the cover is for karaoke software. 7/
My Q was: was @realDonaldTrump in on the fake? Was this something he did to fool his customers? Or did someone make it to fool *him*? 8/
I thought he *must* have been in on the joke. Who would believe they were on the cover of @time, if they really weren’t? 9/
I could never find pics of the fake in @realDonaldTrump’s office. Since it wasn’t there, in *his* space, I figured he was in on the joke 10/
But the @politico pic shows it *was* there in 2011, on @realDonaldTrump’s office Ego Wall. I’m amazed. Could he really not have known? 11/
i’ll end with a plea: if you ever find one of these covers, save it. And if you worked for Trump Org and made the fake...email me. END/
