Graydon Carter to make US ‘return’ with Trump gone

December 05, 2020

Former Vanity Fair editor Graydon Carter says he’s returning to the States now that his longtime arch nemesis Donald Trump is leaving the White House.

“I’m coming back in the middle of this month to America now that he is safely on his way out of office,” Carter said on “Morning Meeting,” the new podcast from his digital weekly, Air Mail.

(Then again, it’s easy to flee the US when you have a country house in Provence, France, where he’s been reportedly holed up since March and writing a memoir.)

But at the same time that Carter makes his return to New York, he added that he thinks first daughter Ivanka Trump and husband Jared Kushner will have a more difficult time making the transition back into Manhattan society.

“I don’t think anybody that I know would touch them with a barge pole,” he said. “They’re done in New York. I don’t think they can eat at restaurants . . . I think they’d have a rough time. I think places like Florida and certain quarters of New Jersey will be fine for them . . . New York is very different. But I don’t see them fitting in at all. I hope I never cross paths with them.”

The feeling may be mutual. Carter’s epic feud with Trump goes back to his days at Spy Magazine. He’s also penned a piece about Trump in the latest edition of Air Mail.
