I would have to agree but the Trump supporters are a new breed of blind followers. I can't wait till their Pied Piper turns on them.

Frankly, most people who read Vanity Fair are probably not Trump supporters anyhow.

He should stop tweeting these moronic opinions every time he feels slighted.

If he starts making idiot tweets about countries or their leaders every time he feels slighted, he will be immensely dangerous. Isn't tanking companies' stock enough for him? Does he never learn anything?

I predict an impeachment sooner rather than later if Trump doesn't grow up fast.

Of course it's political " talk of the town" and a hoot:

Wonder what he's hiding by sending everyone in the direction of his crazy tweet.

Today's news was all about Putin having direct ties to the election hacking. Is this what he's trying to steer everyone away from?

If we're completely honest print media in the US has been in a lot of trouble in recent years and Trump is sizzling hot news. Especially for media that have few Trump supporters he makes for a ripe target to attack even in a restaurant review to try to generate readership.

Not saying it's right or wrong, unfair treatment and baseless attacks (if it helps sell stuff) automatically comes with the job.

But let's not pretend that the article you linked to or your thread title are fully honest portrayals.
Trump is not 'sizzling hot news' to New Yorkers or readers of Vanity Fair.

For the NYC and Vanity Fair crowd--Trump and his many wives and marriages and feuds have always been fodder. VF owes Trump nothing and reviews are biased--it is the nature of a review.

I've read Vanity Fair for years. They have always gone negative on Trump.

Graydon Carter has known Trump for at least 30 years and doesn't like him. He has always written negative editorials about Trump and joked about his little hands.

Trump is using his 'elevated' power to seek retribution on all who have dissed him.

New Yorkers do not care--they are quite used to his tantrums and ugly temperament and will continue to say what they think. This will not hurt Vanity Fair in the least.

You've been asleep the last 8 years to Obama supporters.

Love Vanity Fair and their coverage of the election was
good although never in Trump's favor.
For many years they have exposed Trump's shady doings
and I can't wait to read the magazine the next four years!
I do believe it was Graydon Carter that started the tiny hand Trump movement years ago,
they have printed some really great editorial cartoon pictures of Trump also.

I think I'm going to start reading Vanity Fair more often.

Trump's grudge goes back to the Spy Magazine days when they called him the
Short fingered vulgarian. Good times, good times.

VF is billing themselves as the magazine trump doesn't want you to read.
The whole thing may be good for business!
