Vanity Fair editor Graydon Carter, who once ridiculed Donald Trump as a "short-fingered vulgarian," believes the nation's 45th commander in chief will be ousted from the White House because of his "conflicts of interest, and corruption, both financial and moral."
"No amount of grifter charm can conceal his alarming disregard for facts and truth," Carter writes in a column at Vanity Fair, which has been intensely critical of the billionaire businessman — so much so that last December Trump called the magazine "dead."
In his piece published Tuesday, Carter said: "Fact-checkers can't keep up. How often does Obama play golf? Who cares — let's inflate the number by 50 percent. What's the murder rate in a major American city? What the hell — let's multiply it by 10."
He added that in Trump's temperament, "we now have an unbridled man-boy in the highest office in the land, one who will lash out at the most reasoned criticism …
"I wouldn't be the first to think that we are wading into a quagmire of exceptions, conflicts of interest, and corruption, both financial and moral, which will then be followed by a long, long road to 'Trexit' — our president's extraction from the White House.
"Populists like Trump sweep into office on lies. They are undone by truths."
