It was with great delight and a sense of kinship that we at Vanity Fair read Donald Trump’s letter to the editor of The New York Times. Writing in response to Gail Collins’s April 2 column, “Donald Trump Gets Weirder,” the petty casino fauxgul and insincere 2012 presidential contender took a few grammatically daring swipes at the columnist (“Her storytelling ability and word usage [coming from me, who has written many best-sellers] is not at a very high level”) and repeated his latest cri de coeur, Birtherism.

We, too, are recent beneficiaries of Trump’s editorial suggestions. On March 24, Vanity Fair editor Graydon Carter received a packet of documents from Trump containing a print-out of a VF Daily blog post from the week prior (shown below), several articles from blogs and newspapers concerning the ratings of Celebrity Apprentice and Trump’s presidential aspirations, and a debossed “DONALD J. TRUMP” note card of surprisingly thin paper stock.

Donald Trump: White House 'sideshow' diss proves Obama sees me as threat in 2012 (New York Daily News)

Despite what everyone is saying, Donald Trump insists he isn't clowning around.

After being dismissed by the White House as a "sideshow" circus freak, Trump said Monday the comments are proof positive that President Obama views him as a real threat in 2012.

"I have obviously touched a nerve. They don't talk about any other candidate. I know for a fact they're very concerned with me," Trump told The Daily News.

Trump's embrace of crackpot conspiracy theories about Obama's place of birth earned him a harsh rebuke Sunday from a top White House aide.

"There is zero chance that Donald Trump would ever be hired by the American people," said Obama's right-hand man, David Plouffe. "It's a sideshow."

Trump said he wasn't entirely pleased to see his mug dressed up in clown make-up on the front page of The News as a result.

"I thought it was unfortunate that The Daily News would do something like that," he said.
