   A sad reminder that this is the US President in 2017. This is the face America now presents to the world.

   Someone who fakes Time Magazine covers in his own golf clubs.

   "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."

     Here's a copy of the source of that Tiananmen Square quote:

     This is interesting. People have talked about how he was a Democrat but switched to Republican. The reason is all in this quote. He followed the base:
     
     > But if the grass ever did look greener, which political party do you think you'd be more comfortable with?
     
     > Well, if I ever ran for office, I'd do better as a Democrat than as a Republican—and that's not because I'd be more liberal, because I'm conservative. But the working guy would elect me. He likes me. When I walk down the street, those cabbies start yelling out their windows.

     I think we pretty much think it's all improvisational at this point.
