Not ‘Fair’

Prez rips mag – & wrong editor

-

Trump routinely bashed his predecesso­r, former President Barack Obama, for golfing during his presidency.

Aside from hitting Clinton, Trump used the same tweet to knock famed fashion icon Anna Wintour, seemingly implying that she worked at Vanity Fair.

Trump called out Wintour, the artistic director of Vanity Fair publisher Condé Nast, on Thursday implying that she would have given Clinton favorable press in exchange for an ambassador­ship.

“Anna Wintour, who was all set to be Amb to Court of St James’s & a big fundraiser for CH, is beside herself in grief & begging for forgivenes­s!” he wrote.

Trump once championed Wintour, best known for editing the fashion magazine Vogue, saying she would be a perfect fit for an ambassador­ship to England.

He tweeted in 2012 that he was “happy to hear” rumors that former President Barack Obama was considerin­g the magazine mogul for an ambassador­ship.

“She is a winner & smart!” he said.

Trump has attacked Vanity Fair and its former editor Graydon Carter — his longtime nemesis — for years.

“Has anyone looked at the really poor numbers of @VanityFair Magazine,” Trump tweeted last December. “Way down, big trouble, dead! Graydon Carter, no talent, will be out!” really

It wasn’t all fashion and golf for the President. He also had time to tweet about some internatio­nal issues as he attacked China in wake of reports that Chinese ships transferre­d oil to North Korean vessels at sea in violation of UN sanctions.

Trump has been pushing for tighter economic sanctions against the country over its nuclear weapons program.

Trump said on Twitter that China was “Caught RED HANDED,” adding he was “very disappoint­ed that China is allowing oil to go into North Korea.”

“There will never be a friendly solution to the North Korea problem if this continues to happen!” he added.
