President Trump seized the opportunity on Thursday to attack two of his favourite targets: The media and Hillary Clinton.

In a morning tweet, Trump mocked Vanity Fair magazine for apologising to Clinton over a satiric video suggesting ways the defeated 2016 Democratic presidential candidate could spend her now-free time.

"Vanity Fair, which looks like it is on its last legs, is bending over backwards in apologising for the minor hit they took at Crooked H," Trump said.
