Regardless what happens this fall, it was nice to see SCOTUS smack down the dumb overreach of the lower courts.gut;1860325 wrote:I don't think it was a decision, just that they lifted the injunction pending a full hearing in several months when they are back in session.
It's interesting that the injunctions were basically struck down as illegal. That's probably a good thing, but let's not forget that the courts are the last line of defense against authoritarian rule.

There is a difference between not submitting something for public consumption to which the public does not necessarily have a right (college transcripts, income tax statements, etc.) and putting something out there for public consumption that is overtly deceptive.QuakerOats;1860745 wrote:Maybe he should take them down, as soon as obama releases his college transcripts.
This is pretty mind-blowing to me. Not that much about Trump can surprise anyone at this point, but the narcissism required in this case is simply off the charts.O-Trap;1860758 wrote: Those magazine covers are fakes that had been displayed as genuine. Let's not pretend that's not disingenuous.

Key word being "kid"...and they aren't plastering multiple copies around their hotels, either.Spock;1860765 wrote:So every kid in the country that gets there sports pictures done and gets the sport illustrated cover or the MLB baseball card pic......they are narcissist?
It takes an amazing amount of deluded rationalization to compare a high school kid showing off with a fake card that likely will be stuffed in some box in their closet and forgotten about within a year to a rich, powerful man faking an achievement to prop up his own ego.Spock;1860765 wrote:So every kid in the country that gets there sports pictures done and gets the sport illustrated cover or the MLB baseball card pic......they are narcissist?

Time could probably really set Trump off if it put an unflattering photo of him on their next cover.
Are the parents (the ones actually responsible for all that) trying to pass them off as legitimate? If so, then it's indeed disingenuous (I never used the term 'narcissistic' in my post).Spock;1860765 wrote:So every kid in the country that gets there sports pictures done and gets the sport illustrated cover or the MLB baseball card pic......they are narcissist?
His tweet today about the lady from MSNBC is totally inappropriate coming from the President of the United States. It is an embarrassment to our country that someone with this mentality is in the office of Washington and Lincoln.Spock;1860774 wrote:I am starting to think he uses Twitter to do nothing but change the news cycle.

It genuinely was the antithesis of everything the GOP expected of its political leaders up to this point. The GOP was the party of respectability, statesmanship, good moral character, and family values.QuakerOats;1860787 wrote:Deplorable
Do we know if he was passing them off as real? Did he even know they were in there? If he did, would he even know if they were fake?

If it's not, then that's the difference.
Also, those fake SI covers are never made to look like they could pass as real copies.
The distinction is that these were framed and displayed so as to make them appear credible. That's disingenuous. Were he not trying to do so, he might have had it framed and sitting on a night stand or tossed in an old photo album or in a junk drawer.
