Trump on Spy
New York Post [Page Six] - December 6, 2006
Trump Fingers Spy ‘failure’
DON’T invite Donald Trump and Graydon Carter to the same party. Trump
read the Page Six story about Carter’s recent interview with Bergdorf
Goodman magazine, in which Carter seemed to gloat that his Spy
magazine dubbed Trump “the short-fingered vulgarian.” “In fact,”
Trump tells us, “my fingers are long and beautiful, as, it has been
well documented, are various other parts of my body. From what I
hear, the same cannot be said of editors of the failed Spy. Spy was a
total failure and they’re trying to resurrect its memory from the
ashes. The magazine went out of business, and everyone lost a lot of
money, including Graydon Carter.” Trump flatly denies he ever signed
a 64-cent check, a 32-cent check, or a 16-cent check, “and I would
like them to try and show it to me.” As for Carter? “While I have
always liked Graydon Carter, he is lucky to be working for Si
Newhouse, especially with how badly Vanity Fair magazine is currently
doing. Without Si, he’d just be another overweight editor with bad
hair.”
