Trump's Twitter Spat With Vanity Fair Sparked a Huge Traffic and Subscription Bump

The most subs ever sold in a day at Condé Nast

President-elect Donald Trump has inadvertently just given Condé Nast its biggest subscription day ever, all over a single tweet. 

Earlier this week, Vanity Fair writer Tina Nguyen published a scathing review of the Trump Grill restaurant in New York's Trump Tower. The President-elect was not happy and took time out of his busy transition day to complain about the magazine and editor Graydon Carter.

In his tweet Thursday morning, he claimed that the magazine was "way down," in "big trouble" and was also "dead!"

In fact, Vanity Fair told Adweek that subscriptions rung in at 100 times the amount it typically sells in a day.
