Trump Lashes Out At 'Vanity Fair,' One Day After It Lambastes His Restaurant
Source: NPR
One day after Vanity Fair printed a highly critical piece about one of his restaurants, President-elect Donald Trump escalated his feud with the magazine's editor, calling him a "no talent."
"Has anyone looked at the really poor numbers of @VanityFair Magazine," Trump said in an early-morning Tweet. "Way down, big trouble, dead! Graydon Carter, no talent, will be out!"

Vanity Fair is now using the banner "The ""Way Down, Big Trouble, Dead!"" Magazine Donald Trump Doesn't Want You To Read".
I just purchased subscriptions for two of my dumpster relatives as last minute Christmas gifts. As Cousin Eddie would say "It's a gift that keeps on giving all year long."

(50,557 posts)It's not QUITE as good as the New York Times' classic beatdown of Guy Fieri's Times Square eatery (http://www.nytimes.com/2012/11/14/dining/reviews/restaurant-review-guys-american-kitchen-bar-in-times-square.html), but it's still pretty funny.

My true fave is the New Yorker. Not cheap any more, but it has proved its worth many times over in the 40 plus years I have subscribed.

Theories abound that the billionaire candidate has the Kremlin in his corner.
Donald Trump caused an uproar when he threatened the 67-year-old NATO agreement by suggesting that, if elected to the White House, he might not come to the aid of the Baltic States in the event of a Russian invasion. These remarks, coupled with the release of 20,000 e-mails stolen from the Democratic National Committees servers, have fueled a conspiracy theory that Russian president Vladimir Putin and the Kremlin are playing an insidious role in trying to elect the next American president.
After the D.N.C. e-mail dump revealed the committees favoritism of Hillary Clinton over Bernie Sanders, a position that forced the resignation of the its unpopular chairperson, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, a Clinton campaign staffer called foul on Russia. Experts are telling us that Russian state actors broke into the D.N.C., took all these e-mails, and now are leaking them out through these Web sites, Robby Mook, Clintons campaign manager, noted during an interview with ABCs The Week on Sunday. Its troubling that some experts are now telling us that this was done by the Russians for the purpose of helping Donald Trump. Mook added that this alleged development was particularly concerning given Trumps apparent espousal of a pro-Russia shift in the G.O.P. platform last week. (The Washington Post has reported that Trump staffers lobbied to change an assurance that the U.S. would provide lethal defensive weapons to the Ukraine to a promise of appropriate assistance, a markedly weaker stance on Russia than that held by most of Trumps interventionist, Republican peers. The Trump camp was quick to rebuke the insinuation. Its pure obfuscation on the part of the Clinton campaign, Paul Manafort, Trumps campaign chairman, said in an interview with ABC.
Though the Clinton campaign did not offer up further evidence to prove that the e-mail leak was part of a sinister Russian plot, the comments have thrust the spotlight on the Relationship between the G.O.P. nominee, his campaign, and Putin. Indeed, there have long been whispers of such a quiet alliance, particularly after the hiring of Manafort, who is reported to have close ties to the Russian president and worked on behalf of Kremlin interests in the Ukraine. The real estate mogul has also reportedly grown increasingly reliant on Russian investment to fund development deals. The Washington Post reportsthat Donald Trump Jr. told attendees at a real estate conference in 2008 that, Russians make up a pretty disproportionate cross-section of a lot of our assets, and added, We see a lot of money pouring in from Russia. Of the money coming out of Russia, Talking Points Memo reports most of it has over the years become increasingly concentrated among oligarchs and sub-garchs close to Vladimir Putin. Trump Tower in SoHo is one such Russian-backed development project of the New York billionaire, which was hit with a number of lawsuits over claims of fraud. (The lawsuits were all either settled or closed.)
Trump, of course, has never kept secret his admiration for Putin. In 2007, Trump declared that Putin was doing a great job of rebuilding the image of Russia and also rebuilding Russia period. (In the same interview, notably, he chided President George W. Bush for his leadership.) During an interview with MSNBCs Morning Joe, last year, the former reality TV star also brushed off allegations that Putin oversaw the deaths of journalists critical of his regime, saying, Hes running his country, and at least hes a leader, you know unlike what we have in this country, Politico reports.
