1 Comment

imageNEW YORK, New York (The Adobo Chronicles)  – After losing the title ‘Person of the Year’ to German Chancellor Angela Merkel, Republican Candidate Donald Trump bought Time magazine for a whopping $ 2.5 Billion. That’s almost a quarter of the billionaire’s net worth.

Trump was in the short list of contenders for the title, but magazine editors chose to name Merkel.

Trump’s first move after buying Time was to halt the printing of the magazine’s Person of the Year issue and replacing  the cover and  cover story, featuring himself of course( see photo).

He also announced that going forward, Time will be available free of charge at all Safeway, Target, Walmart and Walgreens stores. It will also be complimentary for those who stay at any of Trump’s hotels and resorts.

TIME MAGAZINE NAMES DONALD TRUMP 2015 PERSON OF THE YEAR BUT HE DECLINES

Leave a comment

imageNEW YORK, New York (The Adobo Chronicles) – Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump wanted so much to be named Time magazine’s ‘Person of the Year,’ but when he got his wish, he declined the honor because it hurt his ego.

Time editors picked Trump over online survey frontrunner Bernie Sanders and Nobel Prize winner Malala Yousafzai, citing the fact that the real estate mogul has defied all reason by consistently topping Republican presidential polls despite his controversial rhetoric against Mexicans and immigrants and his defense of gun ownership, among many other issues.

Time picked an iconic photo of Trump that it thought best represented his personality and aura. Trump didn’t like the chosen photo, so he asked Time to stop the presses and formally declined to be named ‘Person of the Year.’

‘Besides, I don’t need to be on the cover of a cheap magazine.  My images are already everywhere and I know people love me, and I love them,” Trump said.

imageNEW YORK, New York (The Adobo Chronicles) – Next week’s issue of Time Magazine features a shadow image of Hillary Clinton with horns.

The cover immediately elicited outrage and criticism form Hillary supporters as well as members of the media establishment.

In defending its choice of the cover, Time said the graphic didn’t show any horns. “Those were curlers, which are a common practice among women as part of their daily beauty routine,” a Time editor told The Adobo Chronicles.
