It seems like sh**t just can't get any weirder in 2017. Today, the President of the United States took to Twitter to boast about turning down TIME Magazine's offer to feature him as Person of the Year, only to have to be called out on lying by TIME Magazine.

Time Magazine called to say that I was PROBABLY going to be named “Man (Person) of the Year,” like last year, but I would have to agree to an interview and a major photo shoot. I said probably is no good and took a pass. Thanks anyway!

However, coming from the dude who had fake TIME covers of himself hanging in his properties, this claim seemed just a tad bit fishy.

And fishy it was; forcing TIME Magazine to rebut the President's claims:

The President is incorrect about how we choose Person of the Year. TIME does not comment on our choice until publication, which is December 6.

In summary, POTUS got caught in a big fat lie. 

We can't say we're too surprised.
