As President Trump likely heads into another day on the golf course, he’s keeping a laser focus on the most important issue of the day: Vanity Fair‘s recent bit about Hillary Clinton.

The magazine caused quite a bit of commotion earlier this week when they released a video of their staff proposing some non-political hobbies and new years resolutions Clinton might want to consider for 2018, which included knitting. The piece was widely blasted on Twitter, which Vanity Fair addressed in a statement yesterday by saying “It was an attempt at humor and we regret that it missed the mark.”

It seems Trump has noticed all of this, because now he’s criticizing the magazine for not mocking his former political opponent more, all while gloating about how they’re “bending over backwards” and “begging for forgiveness.”

To clarify, Anna Wintour is the editor of Vogue, though she also serves as the artistic director for Condé Nast Inc., which holds Vanity Fair as one of their subsidiaries.

1. can someone please impeach the POS in the WH already.

[Cha]

16. And, WaPo calls out Vanity Fair..

"Snotty and condescending." WA Post's energetic slap down of sexist, anti-HRC Vanity Fair video

18. Thanks Cha

[Mrs. Overall]

2. He always uses the term "begging" when he derides women.

[maddiemom]

12. And he always uses the term FAILING...

as a modifier for any media outlet that isn't in thrall to him like Faux News.

[Siwsan]

3. Is trump* possessed by the malevolent spirit of a spoiled, grudge-bearing 12 year old bully?

Seriously - what supposed adult thinks writing such childish nonsense is, in any way, productive?

I honestly believe his 'maturity' ended just before he hit puberty.

[GusBob]

4. Doesnt this asshole have anything important to do besides tweet and golf?

Worthless president

[Scarsdale]

5. He is SO jealous

of Hillary, he can taste it. Poor, poor man/child. Out classed, out smarted, out voted by a woman. With all the golfing taxpayers are funding, maybe he can be a pro golfer once he is outed from the WH? He is built like a roly poly hemmoroid, and much more painful. My wish is that we will see the day when he has to repay the treasury for all this wasted money.

[Danascot]

11. "roly poly hemmoroid"

Ferret worthy!

[logosoco]

6. Now adding "petty" to the list of characteristics that apply to this "president" nt

[truthisfreedom]

7. Did one of the mean girls die and come back as

an orange furry turd?

[maddiemom]

13. Good One!

[djacq]

8. Why is this a national concern?

Last time I checked, Trump doesn’t own Vanity Fair, Wash Post, NYT, NFL, California, Great Britain.... let’s just say the rest of the world.

[SWBTATTReg]

9. What does this piece of lazy s*?! do all day? I hadn't ...

heard about this ... just what we need, an pathetic excuse of a president spending more time on tweets and TV then the rest of us combined. Add up the hours he's spent on tweeting and golfing, and it adds up to over at least 1/2 his time so far in office...

lazy piece of sh*T!!!!

[Dave Starsky]

17. He also watches TV 8 hours a day.

He is the laziest, most useless piece of shit who has ever held public office anywhere, or at any time in American history. And I've seen some pretty lazy, useless ones.

[bucolic_frolic]

10. My chair is near the breaking point

that doesn't mean it's throwing a fit

By inventing drama and emotions for a magazine, he's in full delusion

[msongs]

14. hows is this news? or late breaking news? just gossip sheet stuff nt

[niyad]

15. hey, dimwit--remember this??? Vanity Fair breaks subscription record after Trump attack on Twitter

Vanity Fair magazine broke a record for subscriptions on the same day that President-elect Donald Trump blasted the magazine on Twitter, increasing subscribers a reported hundredfold. The magazine had the highest number of subscriptions sold in a single day among Condé Nast publications on Thursday, the company told Folio Magazine.

The magazine put up a banner on its website following the criticism from Trump, calling itself the “magazine Trump doesn’t want you to read” and encouraging readers to subscribe.

Trump targeted Vanity Fair on Twitter after the publication published a negative review of Trump Grill, calling it possibly the worst restaurant in America. According to the report by Folio, the review received 1 million unique views since Trump tweeted his criticism.

“Has anyone looked at the really poor numbers of @VanityFair Magazine,” Trump tweeted, adding an attack at the magazine’s editor.
