By now, you might have heard that President Trump has a fake Time magazine cover prominently displayed in several of his golf courses.

Luckily enough, we live in an age where no blunder of proportions that massive goes unchecked by the public. This morning, the New Yorker released this brilliant cartoon that perfectly sums up the entire mess:

No explanation needed.

The New Yorker wasn't alone in mocking the president. Virginia Congressman (and apparently expert Twitter troll) Gerry Connolly created his own Time magazine cover to hang "in all four of [his] offices," the headlines of which are pretty spectacular:

Even late night hosts joined in on the fun. After discussing Trump's disastrous healthcare bill, Seth Myers of NBC called the phony Time cover story "the funniest thing [he'd] ever heard," and said it was "the literal definition of fake news," which, obviously, it is.

Oh, the irony.

So, what does the president say to all of this? There are reports that Time has asked Trump to remove the fake cover from his properties, but no word on his response just yet.

In the meantime, let's just be grateful this quintessentially Trump mistake has brought out the best the internet has to offer.
