‘Stalin’ judge hit in Don aide case
PRESIDENT TRUMP accused Vanity Fair Thursday of “bending over backwards” to apologize for a viral video that angered Hillary Clinton supporters.
The tongue-in-cheek clip featured writers giving advice to Clinton and telling her to take up a hobby, such as knitting, to avoid running for President again.
The publication apologized for the video after it widely criticized on social media, saying in a Wednesday statement that it was an attempt at humor that “missed the mark.”
Trump saw the magazine’s apology as the latest example of news media bias in favor of Clinton.
“Vanity Fair, which looks like it is on its last legs, is bending over backwards in apologizing for the minor hit they took at Crooked H,” he tweeted.
The tweet came as Trump spent the third consecutive day on his West Palm Beach golf course.
Trump has been seen hitting the links despite a tweet saying he’d be “back to work in order to Make America Great Again” the day after Christmas.
Trump is spending the holidays at his Mar-a-Lago resort.
His trip Thursday to the nearby Trump International Golf Club was the 86th day the President has spent at one of his golf properties since taking over the White House. A GOP LOBBYIST and conspiracy theorist thinks a federal judge is acting “Stalin-esque” by questioning whether a former Trump campaign associate violated a gag order.
Lawyer Jack Burkman, who hosted a D.C. fund-raiser for the recently indicted Rick Gates, issued a statement on Thursday blasting U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson for probing the pair’s relationship.
“The actions by this judge to curtail First Amendment free speech rights are nothing short of Stalin-esque,” Burkman said.
Special counsel Robert Mueller — who is investigating possible collusion between Russia and Trump associates — indicted Gates and former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort on money-laundering and other charges in late October.
Gates, under house arrest, made a video thanking supporters that was played at the fundraiser. HUMA ABEDIN’S family gatherings just got even more awkward.
