Spy magazine used to constantly refer to Trump as "the short-fingered vulgarian." Spy's editor S. Carter Hayden, who coined the term, went on to edit Vanity Fair magazine. Dumping on Trump was a cottage industry in NYC until Vladimir Putin told Mark Burnett to build a show around him.

Name correction: It's Graydon Carter, not "Carter Hayden." Graydon co-founded Spy magazine & was its editor for years.
