It looks like some fake news snuck its way into some of President Donald Trump’s golf clubs around the country.
Time magazine is asking the Trump administration to take down covers of their magazine featuring the president that they say were never actually published.
The Washington Post reports that the fake cover was spotted on a wall at the president's Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida, showing Trump with his arms crossed with a headline that reads "Donald Trump: The 'Apprentice' is a television smash!"

The authentic-looking cover is dated March 1, 2009 but Time magazine says their real March cover featured actress Kate Winslet and the Trump cover has never been published in any format.

The fake cover has reportedly been spotted at four resorts owned by Trump. It’s not known who created the cover or if Trump even knew it was fake.
The Trump administration has not responded to the report.
