Trump and faking it - NOT amateur radio

Allegedly  President Trump tweeted that he was "probably" going to be named TIME magazine's Person of the Year, but he apparently declined. TIME has disputed this. It is also reported that the president has a fake TIME cover showing his golf clubs and him.

TIME has also disputed a claim, allegedly, that Trump has appeared on its front cover more than anyone. I am reporting this, I hope, as it appears on the BBC website, which I believe is NOT fake news.

The media portrays the present president as a fool. "I could not possibly comment", to use a phrase from Yes Minister.

The good people of the USA elected President Trump to run their nation and "make America great again".  Let us hope the next president represents the people well and has them at heart.

  1. Hi Roger,

    I wouldn't jump to conclusions. A number of well known celebreties Twittered to millions false news about the government and animal sentience. They got it completely wrong and several have now retracted and appologised. It may have been an honest mistake or an act of mischief by the original poster but it hasn't done anything postive for animals. Fish do not require a halal blessing and despatch but it's now common practice in the UK for other animals. I'm not aware of complaints from the celebreties about that.

    Meanwhile I'll wait to find out if President Trump's Twitter post was intended as irony (humour) or if it was derived from an actual call purporting to be from Time.

    Cheers
