President Donald Trump is lashing out at the magazine Vanity Fair, after the publication said a video it publishedmocking Hillary Clinton "missed the mark."

On Twitter Thursday, Trump said the magazine was "bending over backwards in apologizing for the minor hit."

Wintouris editor-in-chief of Vogue, not Vanity Fair. She is also the artistic director of parent companyCondNast, which publishes both titles.

The video posted onVanity Fair's video site on Dec. 20shows editors of Vanity Fair's business and politics site, Hive, as they suggest New Year's resolutions for Clinton, including that she take up knitting or any hobby that would keep her from running again for president.

The backlash was swift. Among those to respond was actress Patricia Arquette, who tweeted her own proposal stop telling women what they should or can do.

In a statement obtained by a number of news outlets, including The Washington Post, the magazine said the video was an attempt at humour that regrettably "missed the mark."

The video still remains on the site and appears to be a part of a series of videos onNew Year's resolutionsfor Americanpolitical figures, including President Trump, Gary Cohn and Sarah Huckabee Sanders.
