https://www.rnz.co.nz/life/books/the-canadian-journalist-who-first-called-donald-trump-a-short-fingered-vulgarian
US President Donald Trump once called him a "dummy" and "a real loser" with "no talent" and at one point said that he owned the worst restaurant in New York.
It all started when Canadian journalist Graydon Carter coined an infamous description of Trump that has now become a running joke in pop culture. He said the businessman was a “short-fingered vulgarian” in a 1988 edition of satirical magazine Spy, which Carter co-founded.
"At Spy magazine, we had funny epithets for people and the epithet for Trump was every time we mentioned his name, we called him a short-fingered vulgarian, which he hated, and then to his great horror, I became the editor of Vanity Fair," Carter tells Sunday Morning.
