Doesn't our president-elect have more pressing issues at hand than to squabble about a restaurant review?

 

President-elect Donald Trump took a swing at Vanity Fair on Thursday, one day after the magazine published a scathing review of Trump Grill, the restaurant in the Manhattan high-rise where he lives and works. According to Vanity Fair political reporter Tina Nguyen: "Save the employees, no element of Trump Grill was spared, from the food to the decor to the inconsistent spelling of the restaurant's name (at different times referred to as "Trump Grill" and "Trump Grille").

 

Trymp was quick 'on the finger, as he tweeted out a stinging rejoinder:

 

"Has anyone looked at the really poor numbers of @VanityFair Magazine. Way down, big trouble, dead! Graydon Carter, no talent, will be out!" Trump wrote on Twitter, referring to the magazine's longtime editor.

 

More of the Review.   Among other things, Nguyen found that the food tasted "like an M.S.G.-flavored kitchen sponge lodged between two other sponges," and that the bathroom mimics "the experience of desperately searching for toilet paper at a Venezuelan grocery store."

 

Despite the brutal critique, Nguyen is hardly the first to skewer the food at Trump Grill.
