graydon carter has been at vanity fair since 1992, so trump's tweet about how he's likely not be the editor, i think he's pretty safe in that p job. >> when do we, and i mean we the american public public, stop talking about the president-elect's tweeting? this is just how it's going to be, isn't it? >> it's a good question. he will be the most powerful person in the world on january 209. i think it's very difficult to think about how to cover these things because it is deeply consequential. and when he tweets about companies or about other countries or about -- >> i don't mean stopping covering what he's tweeting. i just mean acting surprised that it's over twitter. >> right, exactly. as far as i'm concerned, like i know on our end, donald trump tweeting things that are perplexing or hard to understand or in the case of this morning misspelled of course he spelled it unpresident rather than unprecedented, his shooting from the hip is not anything new. so i think that's why more and more there will be more focus on the substance of what he's saying. in this case the china issue of co

. >>> editor graydon carter is ramping up his war on trump. trump has shown he doesn't always beat up on the big newspapers and networks one day after vanity fair called his trump tower grill possibly the worst restaurant ever the president tweeted has anybody looked at the poor numbers of vanity fair magazine, way down, big trouble, day. graydon carter, no talent will be out. carter has been after trump since the '80s. and carter blasted trump just before the election and doubted he would win. i don't think he's leaving vanity fair any time soon and vanity fair is touting itself as the magazine donald trump doesn't want you to read. that sounds like a bit of spectator sport but carter calls him a preening and vindictive strong man at the top living in gilded opulence surrounded by generals and business cronies. is this what a hunter looks like? we may look back on november 8th and january 20th as days that will live in infamy. now hold on that's taken from fdr's famous line after the aerial attack on japan on december 7th 1941. graydon carter

way down, dead, graydon carter will be out. he has been tweeting that kind of thing for years. he's been wrong for years and was attacking graydon carter way before he took over vanity fair since the term short-fingered vulgarian was introduced. he ran an interview that said the trump grill could be the worst restaurant in america. donald trump knows that his tweet was going to bring much more attention to the review of his terrible restaurant. i wasn't going to read that review if donald trump didn't alert me to it. it's a wonderful piece of writing that you would enjoy, just what you would expect from vanity fair, even if it's on something i don't care about, donald trump's terrible restaurant, but it was worth it to donald trump to try anything today to deflect attention for what donald trump wasn't talking about today, even though weeks ago he promised that today would be the biggest day yet in the trump transition. the day when he would reveal exactly how he was going to remove any appearance of conflict of interest in his business dealings. he scheduled the press conferen

graydon carter, no talent, will be out. this is who he's talking about, the longtime editor of "vanity fair," graydon carter. he and donald trump have been trading insults for decades. trump calls carter a dummy and a loser on twitter. i believe this all began after in the '80s carter called him a short-fingered bulgarian and that is something that has always stuck with donald trump and certainly stuck in his craw. yesterday's edition of "vanity fair" featured an unfavorable review of a restaurant located in trump tower. cnn's brian stelter is here. our senior media correspondent. also lisa layer, politics reporter for the ap. this has been going on for some time. >> oh, yeah. >> we know that. broadening this out to the struggle between donald trump and the media, your expectations as we, you know, are just days, a few weeks out now from inauguration. >> trump has continued to belittle and battle private individuals on twitter. cart carter, being, a more public one than the local union leader recently. trump has written for

trump has been saying it because back in the he 1980s graydon carter insulted him. they've been going back and forth. 2012 trump said the "vanity fair" magazine was about to fold and it was gray drs don carter's fault. maybe in 10 or 20 years it will be true. >> i don't believe it. >> when it happens, trump will take credit for it. this is wishful thinking by trump. i think what is notable and why it matters is he is impulsive and combative. he reacts to whatever perceived slight it is that day, maybe this restaurant review of trump grill. >> but isn't the worse thing you can do -- because every time he tweets the media reports on it. i guess that's us included, but wouldn't the worst thing to do is to ignore his tweets or just realize that maybe sometimes he is blowing off steam and he doesn't mean it? >> a president's words can cause words and force markets to go up and down. >> he is not writing about the market, but writing about "vanity fair" -- >> apparently they had a good financial day today. >> private company, but -- >> his words -- >> you think about what

in the 1980s graydon carter called him a short fingered vul varn a vulgarian. 2012 trump said the "vanity fair" magazine was about to fold. maybe 10, 20 years, emily, someday it will be true, i highly doubt it and when it happens, trump will take credit for it. this is wishful thinking by trump. what's notable about it, why it matters is he's impulsive and combative, reacts to whatever perceived slight that day, maybe it was this restaurant review of trump grill. >> isn't the worst thing you can do, you know, every time he tweets, like, the media reports on it. i guess that's us included. wouldn't the worst thing to do to ignore his tweets or just realize that maybe he's just sometimes blowing off steam and doesn't really -- >> the president's words can cause wars and can cause, you know, can force markets to go up and down. emily here is talking about -- >> he's not writing about the market, though, he's writing about "vanity fair" and a grudge -- >> apparently they had a good financial day today. >> private company. >> think about what he said about air force one. >> boeing -- >> right?

carter. he's settling scores, but how does that help him govern? >> look. it's not about governing. what donald trump said is i'm not going to let people be untruthful about me and not counterpunch. it think it's a grit opportunity go directly to the people and tell the truth. it's something where no one has had the privilege of doing. he can put out a tweet or it's the breaking news of any major network. he's used it to make sure the truth is getting out and that's important. >> no question about it but when you were writing his campaign and many of those tweeting would cause controversy, did you ever say, sir, you need to step away from the twitter? >> look, my job wasn't to tell donald trump what to tweet or what not to tweet. he's a grown man. but more importantly he fundamentally understands what the american people are after. when he talked about just recently not allowing the flag to be burned, i'm just saying what the supreme court has said but i know 80% of the american people agree

graydon carter, no although eta be out. and look what's happening in syria, russian hacking and he's speaking with vanity fair. one of them should say, maybe you should focus on that other stuff. >> they've tried and it hasn't worked. for a very brief window toward the end of the campaign, chris, they took away his twitter account. they did the tweeting. he would dictate to them what he wanted to tweet. they would type it out and edit it and send it out for publication. that's not happening any more and i wouldn't expect it to. >> jeff peterson of the "new york times." always great to see you, my friend. >> thank you. >>> kate snow returns tomorrow at 3:00 p.m. eastern. my colleague, steve kornacki, picks up my coverage in new york. good afternoon, steve. >> breaking news at the top of the agenda. dylan roof guilty on 33 counts in the shooting deaths of nine people at a south carolina church last year. the trial will now continue into the sentencing phase. much more for you on what we can expect in that pivotal second phase

carter, who is the first to suggest trump has small hands. funny, with those tiny hands, you would think it would be easier for trump to let go of things. [ laughter ] "variety" magazine yesterday named television coverage of donald trump's campaign to be the worst tv of 2016. are you kidding me? that show had everything. it had passion. heart break. it had lavish sex. there was a goofy dad. a whacky neighbor. actually, a bunch of whacky neighbors. it had romance. and the biggest, the biggest twist ending in tv history. oh, and major a cliff hanger for season 2. reporters of an old interview in which donald trump allegedly says he likes having people explain things to him in ten words or less. okay, if you keep skipping security briefings, we're all gonna die.

carter about restaurant reviews or it is -- he's somehow got to make -- >> let me ask you this. you said there's people like it. he's a disrupter. they like seeing him picking these fights. they obviously do. they all rally behind him. i wouldn't do it. i don't think it's a great idea to do it, but i'm talking about -- his people love it. >> you said his people. i don't know if the consensus in the country right now, whether it is democrats, and obviously there's been a lot of polls and yes, his approval rating is higher but it's still lower than any president 30 or 40 days into after being elected. he's got to at some point own that he's won instead of proving that he's won. and i would like my president at this point to be saying more than anything, because i think the biggest story of the election is not him winning, it's the russian hacking. wow, this is really concerning. that's what i would like the leader of our country to be saying at this point. for some reason, he's still in campaign mode saying no, nothing to do with it. >> let's get to news. >> i saw him talking abou
