The number of Trump Organization clubs with fake Time magazine covers of President Trump on display has reportedly risen to eight.
That number has risen since Tuesday as Twitter users have posted pictures of the fake cover from trips to Trump golf clubs. Washington Post Reporter David Fahrenthold compiled a list of the clubs from tips he received.

On Tuesday, pictures of the cover dated March 2009 surfaced featuring Trump and exclaiming, “TRUMP IS HITTING ON ALL FRONTS … EVEN TV.” A spokeswoman for Time told the Washington Post she could confirm that it was not a real Time cover.
Fahrenthold found an online photoshop tutorial on how to make a Time cover in which the barcode image from the tutorial is the same barcode for the fake Trump Time cover.
Twitter users have made their own photoshopped versions of the cover, including Rep. Gerald Connolly, D-Va.
Wow, my first cover of Time. Asked my staff to frame this and hang it in all four of my offices. @realDonaldTrump https://t.co/Hx57ZJExR8 pic.twitter.com/y1HciTB5G1

Time has asked that the Trump Organization remove the fake covers; two clubs have reportedly taken down the cover. Trump has been featured on other real Time magazine covers.
