President Donald Trump was "obsessed" with a translator's breasts during Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's visit to the White House last month, Vanity Fair Editor-in-Chief, Graydon Carter claimed in an editor's letter Wednesday. However, it was unclear if the claims were true.

Trump allegedly admitted to a friend about the incident, Carter said without mentioning how or from whom he learnt about the alleged remark.

"He expressed this in his own, fragrant fashion," Carter wrote in the letter, titled "The Trump Presidency Is Already A Joke."

A White House spokeswoman declined to comment on Carter's claim, the New York Daily News reported.

Last year, Los Angeles Times reported about Trump's obsession with good looking women. Managers at Trump National Golf Club in Rancho Palos Verdes, California, in the mid-2000s reportedly had to make sure only "pretty" female employees were working when their boss came to visit. According to court records, Trump had instructed that unattractive women must be fired.

"I had witnessed Donald Trump tell managers many times while he was visiting the club that restaurant hostesses were 'not pretty enough' and that they should be fired and replaced with more attractive women," a sworn declaration from Hayley Strozier, the 2008 director of catering at the club, revealed, according to the Times.

The latest alleged claim comes amid Carter and Trump's long running tension, which escalated after the 70-year-old slammed Vanity Fair in December over its review of his Trump Tower steakhouse.​

"Has anyone looked at the really poor numbers of @VanityFair Magazine. Way down, big trouble, dead! Graydon Carter, no talent, will be out!" Trump tweeted hours after the review was published.

Trump's attack on the fashion and politics magazine reportedly resulted in a massive surge in its subscriptions.

"Vanity Fair: Way up, big success, alive! Subscribe today!" the magazine responded.

Meanwhile, Carter has also taken several jabs at the president, mostly in his editor's letters.
