The president-elect of the United States took aim at Vanity Fair magazine Thursday morning after the publication gave his restaurant a blisteringly negative review. "Has anyone looked at the really poor numbers of @VanityFair Magazine," Trump asked in his first tweet of the day. "Way down, big trouble, dead! Graydon Carter, no talent, will be out!"
Trump's ire appeared to have been sparked solely by a negative review of Trump Grill that Vanity Fair ran on Wednesday. The article, titled "Trump Grill Could Be the Worst Restaurant in America," panned the establishment as serving "rich-man slop."
