The future leader of the free world is on another tear...

Donald J. Trump Verified account ‏@realDonaldTrump
Has anyone looked at the really poor numbers of @VanityFair Magazine. Way down, big trouble, dead! Graydon Carter, no talent, will be out!


Why, you ask?

A bad restaurant review

TRUMP GRILL COULD BE THE WORST RESTAURANT IN AMERICA

The allure of Trump’s restaurant, like the candidate, is that it seems like a cheap version of rich. The inconsistent menus—literally, my menu was missing dishes that I found on my dining partners’—were chock-full of steakhouse classics doused with unnecessarily high-end ingredients. The dumplings, for instance, come with soy sauce topped with truffle oil, and the crostini is served with both hummus and ricotta, two exotic ingredients that should still never be combined. The menu itself would like to impress diners with how important it is, randomly capitalizing fancy words like “Prosciutto” and “Julienned” (and, strangely, ”House Salad”).

Tossing a little flame at Trump gets you an instant feud. Shoot back and you might stretch out your feud and resulting PR points for a whole week. A week of free national promotional ads for zero dollars.

It's not a bad strategy.

Averages 3 out of 5 stars. I'm telling you, if you want some free publicity, you should open up a Twitter account and find something of Trump's to insult.

Everyone who gets into a Twitter feud with Trump gets a gold star... and a lawsuit!!

The creation of a pathetic little man who wants to appear sophisticated and important. "I'm rich! This is what rich people eat! See?!?"

I suspect that torch will pass to Germany's Angela Merkel. Come January 21st, we are going to be ruled by a Latin American style kleptocracy.

with money, power, and media domination. I suspect if a critic from another country disses his restaurant he'll order drone strikes.
