E. Jean Carroll's Trump-bashing
By David Zukerman
According to the May 2 New York Times, on the last day of her testimony in her civil suit against Donald J. Trump alleging rape, E. Jean Carroll insisted that she was fired as advice columnist for Elle because President Trump called her a liar, not because she gave an excerpt of her book to rival New York magazine. This question immediately came to mind: would a New York City-based editor dismiss a columnist because Trump called her a liar?
That question was answered by this follow-up question: In media circles, isn't criticism from Pres. Trump considered a badge of honor?
A Google search did not result in many Elle articles on Trump. But there was this one: "Are You Going to Cast a Spell On Trump?" Here are the opening paragraphs in this Elle article, February 23, 2017 -- only one month after Trump took office:

Starting at midnight on Friday, witches around the country are calling for a mass spell to be cast on Donald Trump every night of a waning crescent moon until he's driven from office.more
